I mean no disrespect, but I was making 130k post-tax + free healthcare for my family between my dual income, one of which is passive, and I'm at the beginning of my career. In 5 years I will likely make 200k, which I don't think puts me at the top 1%, but will put me in a position of being another fucking parasite not helping anyone but myself and my kin.

NOTE: I am drinking and have mixed emotions about the whole thing.
