Growing up, how much did your parents make?

For many of you, you are still with your parents, so answer it in the current context.

My mom made only about 12k a year(yeah I was pretty poor).

So what about you?

Edit: And after reading some of the posts before mine, REALLY not much....

I don't see the connection. You don't have to work so hard just because someone else makes a lot of money. And why would him making less change that???

combined parents probably made ~ $80K / year.. and they worked their asses off to put myself and my 2 siblings through 15 years of private school. funny thing is growing up we never had a lot of name brand stuff like clothes and stuff.. and i remember thinking that when i'm older and make my own money i'll be able to buy all that stuff. now that i can afford it, i don't even want it. :)

Well, being in that bracket is not as great as you must think it is. Not really forced to study hard by the school, but its a really good incentive to try and make more and do better, cause things really suck right now.Plus, have to work harder at my job too to survive, plus, I have to get another one.

I haven't really had a day off since last summer before I took a summer college class...

I thought $70K was alot (My dad makes less then that, and my mom makes nothing, and no, she is not a stay at home mother), but compared to some of your guys' parents, its not much at all.

"Money buys misery".

I could go on all day - but I'd rather not be the complaining type.

[QUOTE="GTA_dude"][QUOTE="Famiking"] I wish my dad earned less, preferably $40,000-70,000. Thanks to all that money, I'm studying 50-60 hours a week. Go to a really uptight private school, haven't had a "day off" in about a month.Famiking

Indeed. I was much the same way. One of the best things my parents did for me was teaching me a sense of frugality. It's much more difficult to go the other way - from living the 'good life' to living a frugal life.

A year, 7 mil a year. You probably think I'm joking. Admit it, you think I'm joking, so why don't you just burst out laughing, in your math class, in your english calss, in your science class, in your computer class, just burst out laughing for the teacher to go "What the hell is wrong wtih you?" and you can tell them, and you want to admit that you think I'm lying and they'll ask "Who the heck is MOCHIRON_MAN??" and you'll tell them, then you go home, and log on, and then you post saying you think I'm joking, so go on, Admit it. You think I'm joking. Don't you? Yes you do, I can see it in your digital representation of those buggy little eyes of yours. Your thinking "This guy is so joking. Clearly, he is pulling our leg."

Yes. I ramble. But that was intentional. You thought I was going to say Yes. I'm joking. But no. I'm not.

I need to cut back on the caffiene.

[QUOTE="MOCHIRON_MAN"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] What do they do then? Seriously, tell me so I can do it to.thepwninator

Well my parents probably make around 150K combined in one year, but to tell you the truth, I wish they didn't. They both hate their jobs, and they come home stressed every night. We're not even really a close family, as we get alot of the stuff we want, and don't really need each other for anything. I'd much rather have less money and a family who actually likes and talks to one another like my friends, even if we had less money.LZ71
