What's your annual family income?

I'm using the Family Income (2008) chart that was posted in another thread:

Just curious as to what the makeup of this board is. I think that I know, but am interested to see what the actual numbers are.

That's a little too personal.

 

Here's my SS# though 321-12-3456

You'll get as many honest answers as a d!ck size, IQ and grilling proficiency poll

is this the thread where edjr posts a scan of his checking account balance to show he has .04 in it?

[Rattlesnake 0]

Oh, I think that people will respond honestly to this poll. I'm not putting much stock into the posts in the thread, but my guess is that the poll numbers will be pretty accurate.

[Frank M 181]

I answered honestly.

 

 

Then I cried a little bit.

[phillybear 365]

Wow. Look at all the people making more than 100 Gs. I guess we have a lot of teachers around here.

He has more than that, I gave him 60 bucks last week for a FF league.

[nospk 230]

why are the max/min numbers so odd in each salary range?

I mean, like why 66,355 to 111,645 instead of 66,000-112,000?

[TheNewGirl 1,051]

So, um who makes over 2.87 million?

[KSB2424 3,086]

Wow. Look at all the people making more than 100 Gs. I guess we have a lot of teachers around here.

I remember a while back this same sort of thread was out there and a few posters were talking about how they made well over 100K per year, yada yada. Then a couple months later the same exact posters were talking of how they couldn't wait to get their GWB stimulus check.

It will take my salary combined, before taxes, for the next three years to approach 100 G's. HTH.

Bullsh1t. Even uncertified Catholic school teachers make more than that after taxes.

 

I bet you have a dishwasher in every room in your mansion.

Wow. No wonder you favor Obama and his socialistic wealth redistribution ideas.

[Cruzer 1,993]

would not surprise me if the up to $18 grand pick owns their own business. i know how you fockers work it.

[Strike 4,049]

ROFLMAO. That was my EXACT thought too.

Ever think of opening up your own business, like a lingerie shop. I hear they do really well

[surferskin 30]

Maybe you should try working 12 months a year.

Um....can I borrow some money?

[thetxstang 0]

I make slightly less than 2.87 million (a month), but I have a giant cack, am married to a supermodel, and bench press 512 lbs. And most importantly, I've gotten 1st place in every fantasy football league I've ever played in.

You've got me by a pound , but you have a wittle bitty peemus, are married to a wildebeest, and have placed last in every fantasy league you've ever played in.

Unpossible on this bored.

Sorry, that "513" didn't refer to pounds. It referred to illegitimate children. I get around.

 

But you're right about the fantasy leagues.

I do. A buddy of mine whose family income is over $260K compared hours with me 2 years ago. He works in the business world, as do most of you, based on past conversations. He counted his hours for a 12-month period and so did I. My count was higher, and it wasn't even close.

 

I've mentioned this on here before. Due to a labor dispute, teachers in my corporation tracked hours a couple of years ago (during a school year). The results showed that the average teacher worked their "summer vacation" between August and June. For many teachers, like myself, enough hours were logged to average up to 14-15 months of work, even though we "only work 9.5-10 months a year". It's too bad that about 3-5% of the teachers were apparently lazy bastards and they literally only worked the 9.5-10 months. A few were less. Otherwise, our average would have been insane.

I'd be impressed if any teacher worked half of the hours that I work. Sadly, they just couldn't keep up with the pace.

I'd be interested to see how your math worked out. How many hours a week do you work?

[Savage Beast 1]

I'm a member of the Socialist/Democratic party, so I don't work. I live off of the tax money that working Americans pay. Why should I work, when rich people make enough money to support me to?

[Me_2006 14]

We're in the 66-111 thousand range. Mom has always stayed home with us while dad worked. Things are fairly cheap where I live and stuff as it's such a small town, so we're able to live on just one salary pretty comfortably. Not rich by any means, but enough for a few extras here and there.

[Rattlesnake 0]

Wow. No wonder you favor Obama and his socialistic wealth redistribution ideas.

 

Assumptions are fun, aren't they?

 

I realize that the rich bastards out there all worry about his tax plan. That's fine, I understand why, to a degree. As I've stated many times here, I support Obama because of a few major things: foreign policy strategy, the fact that he places such an emphasis on education and has such a good plan (for both secondary and college levels), and because he's an intellectual leader whose honesty is refreshing and is someone that would represent us well around the world. Personally, I think it's time that we make a dramatic shift from the policies that have landed us in this horrific position. I liked Obama anyways, but I believe that McCain would be an absolute disaster as President, possibly worse than Bush when all is said and done, so that only strengthens my support for Obama. Most of the reasons that I support him have nothing to do with money. Of course, while money is important to me, I'm not one of those people who only thinks about my own pocketbook when I'm standing in the polling booth on election day......and if I do, it's usually as I lament the amount of money that's been wasted on "defense" overseas.

 

While the notion that Obama supporters are simply lazy bastards who don't want to work for themselves obviously helps some of you get through the day, as it is a very self-fulfilling statement to make, it's just ignorant and flat out wrong. Sure, it's true that some of his supporters are like that, and you'll always have that. To attempt to say that his base is made up of primarily those kinds of people just isn't true, however. I realize that it makes some of you feel good to say it, though, as it justifies your own existence. In truth, Obama has a lot of supporters like myself.......college graduate, working in a civil service job, currently enrolled in a Master's program.......and would rather see our government spend money within our borders as opposed to in the Middle East.

 

Keep telling yourselves whatever you need to, though.

I'd be interested to see how your math worked out. How many hours a week do you work?

 

I'd have to get the binder back out to go after the major details. Going by memory.......

 

We're contracted from 7:30-3:00 during the school year, which obviously comes out to 37.5 hours per week, or 35 if you remove lunch (which we did not, per administration's request). If you're asking about me personally, at the time this was done, my average was a total of 59.4 per week. I remember that number. Of course, this included time before school, after school, and on weekends. Things like lesson planning, grading, and meeting with students outside of school hours all counted, as long as it was related to teaching and/or make-up work. We stressed that there was to be no "padding" time; we wanted accurate numbers. About 70% of the corporation participated, which is pretty crazy considering that there are over 420 teachers in our corporation.....which tells you how bad our labor situation was (still is). The corporation average was somewhere around 49 (during the school year), I believe. I remember that the way it worked out was that over a 12-month span, our average teacher worked approximately 41 hours per week.

 

I'd be shocked if that's not normal. If you think about it, that's about 12 hours on top of any teacher's work week, on average. All that means is that, for example, each teacher would have to work 2 hours M-F outside of school hours and 2 hours on the weekend. That's nothing. I was actually surprised that our average wasn't higher.

 

Of course, our labor situation is kind of unreal........after all, due to insurance costs rising and a vindictive school board, young teachers like me are actually making less (net) than we were two years ago.
