I don't know how you guys make 11x etc. I am at 3.55x and I started about 26 years ago. Lots of super successful folks here.

I am talking only salary though. I am doing very very well in my investing which dwarfs my salary.

Perhaps they started really, really low salary?

But yeah, reading this thread can sure make lots of people feel pretty poor.

Yes, that is what I thought. Because the ones who say 11x don't say what x is. Or I have no way of guessing the range.
Or maybe they made 100k in Dallas and switched jobs and made 250k in San Francisco which may amount to the same thing because SF is so expensive.

My first job as a student worker was at 5.15/hour. Which sounds insane to even think I was able to live off of that.

Yeah, at 15 I was making $5.15/hr. At 21 while working during my time at A&M I think I was making $9/hr at UCS.

My first job was a bagger at Albertson's, College Avenue, College Stn. I also worked as a book stacker at Evans Library but don't remember the pay I got. I still have the paystub of my first paycheck. I have to go check but I believe it was about the same - $5.30/hr. My credit card bill for the month was around $100 and my rent share was $125.

If you take this wage of $5.30 which translates to about $10,600/year, then my 'x' multiple is huge.
