Feelings of Inadequacies

Posted By: Paul

It is very unlike me to feel inadequate about anything. In fact, one of my major faults is being overly confident and then falling flat on my face.

I’ve always felt like I was doing OK for myself but reading this post over at I Will Teach You to be Rich just left me feeling kind of blah.

How many of you earn over $100,000 / year?

How old are you?
What do you do for a living?
How did you feel once you earned $100k?
What, if anything, changed?
If your friends earn a lot less than you, does that ever present problems when hanging out?

You should check out some of the comments.

I have always felt like I was making decent money. But to be honest, I was a bit surprised to see so many young people earning at such a high level, especially in jobs that did not entail slaving away in management consulting or investment banking. Reading this post kinda crushed my self esteem a little, but I guess it just goes to show that success can be found anywhere.

On a side note, I do think it is really cool that alot of these people haven’t let their high incomes impact their lifestyles too much. This is how the rich get richer.
