Poll: Income at 27

[rbp]

Lol. I was in grad school. $20k.

[humpforfree]

$52k. Then I took a pay cut to get out of that job that year. Bwaaa bwaaa.

[jenn248]

I can't see the poll on my phone, but I think about $70K.

[Deleted]

$37k at the beginning of the year, with an increase in May (anniversary) to $40k.

[thebreakfastclub]

I can't see the poll, but I was making around $34k at 27. That is in 2003 dollars, kids.

[Marmee]

Well that was 12yrs ago for me...and I made $16/hr as a Designer in a large firm. So maybe $36K with OT.

[aspentosh]

Low $50s. I had switched to a new job in 2010 and can't remember exactly how much. But I came from about $38k, so it was quite the jump for me. And then I pretty much never got another raise.

[jeaniebueller]

39k.

[hermione]

Grad school. I made enough to live off ramen.

[mrshandy]

$75K with the government

[ilikedonuts]

0. I've been SAH since I was 24. I'm 28.

[rugbywife]

I put 50-75k…I can't remember exactly…I would have been in my 4th year teaching, so done my masters, so in the highest 'bracket'. DH makes 66k now, in his 5th year of teaching…so somewhere around 60+ is probably around right.

Ditto this exactly.

[rupertpenny]

I was 27 last year when I was in grad school, so like $15k annualized. I did much better at 26, and again at 28.

[cincodemayo]

I've been average in all of the polls today. Like middle of the middle. Woo!

[cinco]

10 years ago, I was making mid 60k. Now I make 0 and have 3 kids

[asoctoberfalls]

I was at about 56k.

[hetty]

I am 27 now and make just under $40k with my bonus. Without that it's under $30k

[leonard131]

That was 15 years ago.  I don't even remember being 27.  I think I was making 42k in 1999 dollars.

[jene]

I started the year making 56k, I think I ended it around 68k

[zeewifeandmama]

$0 I had just become a SAHM

[jinxy]

$49k

[wavepool]

27, 27.. I made $75,000ish. I more than doubled my first out of college salary in less than 5 years. Insurance people. You can make $$$ in insurance and it's not that hard.

[cjeanette]

If I remember correctly it was around 50k.

I worked in Insurance too. It wasn't a bad gig at all.

[oswin]

$110k. I'm only 25, but I'm 5 years out of college so it sort of counts.

[bowies]

I can't remember. I started working for my company at 25 and had a quick promotion. I'd say high 50s as a guess. LCOL area.
