My last year of being a full-time student and a dependent of my parents (in terms of taxes). Hoping for a higher income bracket for 2009. (:

not bad....could have been better, but my pay plan didnt really start until april 1, so I had 3 months of "eh" pay....probably would have bumped me into the next bracket on the poll if I had started Jan 1

Don't worry man - it's the income post schooling that makes it worth while. Make sure to get into some internships and network while you're in school. I know that's what everyone is telling you but it's truly what works.

I make double what most of the 1st/2nd year civil engineers my dad employees make, and no college degree. Although I would definitely trade stress levels, hahaha. and we ALL know I hate my job, haha. j/k

this poll is biased though... it's racially and religiously discriminating as it doesn't classify individuals based on position within a company in relation to other coworkers with similar experience and lesser overall productivity numbers gauged on teh national average of what a competent worker is understood to be producing on an average 40hr work week with no overtime

(yeah that last paragraph was just a bunch of words tossed together to make me seem smart, haha)

I'm by no means saying that a college degree is what makes the money. I would say that it makes the job search a bit easier and maybe a few extra bucks in the first few years.

There are way too many people that are extremely good at what they do, make great money do it and enjoy their job who do not have a degree to ever say that a piece of paper is what makes life easy.

Agreed! I'm pulling around $2,100 every two months right now after taxes.

I was pulling around $2200 a month base pay when I got out. Plus pulling 2K a month for BAH plus dive, demolition, and jump pay wich was another $300 a month at that time I believe. Then when deployed I got this stuff in addition to the above, I always had family sep pay $100 a month, Flight deck pay wich I think was around $100 a month. Im sure im missing somthing else here to but I cant think of it.

So being stateside, I was making $4,500 a month with only base pay of $2100 being taxable if i remember correctly. Then when over seas I was making $4,700+ a month all tax free...

The money isnt great, but its by no means lousy..... I could never figure out how the hell people were always broke.....

Retirement is going to be a bit different for those 2 situations.

26x what I make every two weeks (base salary)... or base salary + bonus + retirement + 401k? The latter bumps me up two spots on the range-o-meter.

Or the fancy sheet the company hands out every year that says how much I "cost them" for me to grace them with my presence? It's a baloney sheet as far as I'm concerned but I have that to pick from also.

On another note, I'm jealous.

EDIT:
After looking at the results again... how do you people afford to live here? Do only the 50k+ people live in Waukesha County?

They expect you to perform a service for them for a cost...that baloney they show you is the cost of what your service is worth to them.

This might include their percent of SS, healthcare, their additions to 401K, pensions, blah blah blah are all cost to them that they weigh in on whether or not your services are worth their money. I think it's great...more companies should do this. Gives you an idea of what you're really worth in terms of dollars to them.

I voted for my base pay + bonus.

I'm one of those people that are looking to buy a house not in Ghettowaukee County. It's not that it's a bad place to live... it's just that there is about an 85% probability that it's going to be a bad place to live. Milwaukee didn't learn from any of the other Rustbelt Mistakes (TM) so it's going to end up just like the rest.

So, due to proximity to work I'm stuck with southern Washington County or Waukesha County. Only fawkin' rich people live in Washington County or you live in the sticks.

Let's say someone makes $52,000/year (1k/week) and you want to buy a house. Fannie and Freddie say 28% of your income can go to housing. That's $1,200/month. Let's pick Waukesha's expensive $1,000/$50k assessed tax rate. Today's smokin' $5.50/1k borrowed is a good deal. All said and done you can buy a house around $160k assuming you don't have too many other payments that bump you up past the 36% limit (which includes the stuff in the 28% limit plus all other monthly creditcard/loan payments) and you have a blingin' credit history.

$160k doesn't buy you much in Waukesha County. It buys you a lot more today than it did a year ago but you still don't get much. I don't know how you guys do it.

I'm sitting here scheming on how I can manage to afford to borrow $180,000 to buy a home. And I'm not even at the 28% limit. Just being alive costs us (my girlfriend and I) $3,100/month. The increase of renting vs buying is about $400/month (basically the taxes/insurance on the house).


That's really helps you get an idea of total compensation. They expect you to perform a service for them for a cost...that baloney they show you is the cost of what your service is worth to them.

This might include their percent of SS, healthcare, their additions to 401K, pensions, blah blah blah are all cost to them that they weigh in on whether or not your services are worth their money. I think it's great...more companies should do this. Gives you an idea of what you're really worth in terms of dollars to them.

It's kind of a sick joke though. I get why they do it. But they include all the BS stuff that has no direct impact on me. The kind of stuff they include is just there to make you feel better about your salary. If they spent that much time on analyzing the cost of new furniture they'd never buy any.

If they didn't need to fill the position with a body they wouldn't have a body there. It's not like it's analyzing a "gift of employment". I'm not complaining, it just seems dumb. It does probably work on dumb people though. It just irritates me though. I don't have anything to complain about though, my raise beat inflation by a metric shit ton.

wrath, that's cause you are figuring 0% down. when you figure in 20% down, what used to be a requirement, normal average DP to GET a house... that's $36,000 down. so 36 x the $5.50 = $198. SO mortgage would be around $1000/month, then take away the $50/month in PMI and you are down under a $1000.

It hasn't been in my lifetime you've needed 20% down. How many people here have the ability to get 20% down before they're 30 on a family-type house? Meaning 3 bedroom 1 bath in a neighborhood that you'd want to raise kids.

Still only gets you to $196,000 house. Still slim pickings.

I'm not 100% was always needed. Banks just looked more favorable and it was an easier time GETTING the loan.

As for how many... only the responsible ones it seems which has made the economy what it is now. That "commitment". Again, not saying everyone who put 0% down are not responsible. But if someone was coming at you with $0 savings towards the largest purchase their about to make, vs. someone who had sacrificed mcd's, nights out on the town, buying expensive toys, a hobby such as this one, etc... and had that 20% down, which one would you trust more to loan your own money?

and again, you are basing it off of a $50,000 year person. If you have NO other bills like CC debt. And you are making $1000/week. Figure no other bills just a $350 car payment, and a $200 month health insurance, and a $500 rent they split, that still leaves them with $3000 in unused money. Now figure $100 insurance for the car, and then another $200/month for gas. Again, that's $2000 a month left over. Some of that's taxes I know, but who hasn't saved for something they've wanted? Wouldn't that show responsibility and commitment? 5 years of saving $500/month for something you are still leaving yourself money leftover to enjoy life, that's $30,000.

If you make less, like $25,000, you shouldn't be paying for a $160,000 house. If you really wanted a house, maybe you should be looking at a $80,000 house? It's the american DREAM.... not the american RIGHT. And again, that's why we are in the sling we are in. Not my problem someone doesn't make the income to support buying a house.

Didn't we have this discussion once before? Home purchases are ALWAYS the most painful when you first get them... Not at all fair to say that you can't afford anything, when you are looking at very little down, a slightly inflated market, single income, and while looking at family houses. Most people in your situation buy starter homes, to build equity.

Also careful with the blanket statements about counties in WI. There are some great areas to live in Milwaukee County. :thumbsup

Since there was talk about what should be included in how much you made. IMO it should be your base salary + bonuses + whatever on the side. Basically I used (my portion) of what made it on to my IRS 1040 income line.

Let's say screw the health insurance part. Most people get to keep ~66-70% of their income after they make their 401k contributions, pay for health insurance, AD&D, taxes, et cetera.

1000 * 66% = $660/week. Or $2860/month. That money disappears fast.

It's the american DREAM.... not the american RIGHT. And again, that's why we are in the sling we are in. Not my problem someone doesn't make the income to support buying a house.

From Wikipedia:

The median income for a household in the city of Waukesha was $50,084, and the median income for a family was $60,841. Males had a median income of $40,743 versus $29,279 for females. The per capita income for the city was $23,242. About 3.0% of families and 5.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.0% of those under age 18 and 5.9% of those age 65 or over.

This whole housing "bubble" is the side effect of people buying houses they couldn't afford. We all know this. However, there's still a giant bubble here. If you do the math the average family income of $60,841 can't buy an average family house in an average family neighborhood.

Didn't we have this discussion once before? Home purchases are ALWAYS the most painful when you first get them... Not at all fair to say that you can't afford anything, when you are looking at very little down, a slightly inflated market, single income, and while looking at family houses. Most people in your situation buy starter homes, to build equity.

Yeah, we did. Yeah, the nice thing is that house payments don't go up but hopefully your wages do.

Very little down is kind of an interesting game. How much is very little down? <$20,000 (10% on a $200k house)? $10,000? In today's market it makes no sense to put any more down than you have to anyway. You can do better than 5% (your home loan) on even a shitty stock market.

But anyway, the important part is that how expensive it is to live here. I don't have kids. I have a car payment and student loans. My girlfriend has student loans. That's it. If we buy a house and I use my savings for money down we won't have the normal 6 months in savings (to survive in case of job loss). So we need to use my girlfriend's income to recover that savings. Plus, you shouldn't base what you can buy on combined earnings anyway.

In the olden days, before the ridiculous housing price runup building "equity" meant making payments and paying down the principal. Housing, historically, has gone up with inflation/people's wages. It wasn't until the last ten years that this has not been true. So "building equity" isn't what people defined it as in the 1998-2007 sense. It's now the dawnoftime-1997 rules.


Also careful with the blanket statements about counties in WI. There are some great areas to live in Milwaukee County. :thumbsup

There are some places to live in Wayne (where Detroit is) that are nice too. Like Grosse Pointe. But I think we can all say Wayne County isn't a great place to live.

Yeah...I live in Milwaukee. Bought a house there when I was making a touch more than 1/2 what I make now. Now I have a "comfortable" life (though we are making adjustments with the wife and her medical bills, making things seem *harder*).

Most of the people with "average" family incomes have owned homes and have equity in such homes...for most this counts as their down payment, plus whatever they scrape up extra.

In my nieghborhood, I certainly make more than most...but I've also lived their among the shortest time. My two nieghbors bought their houses when they were going for 15,000 dollars. Most around me bought when they cost 50-75,000. I bought at 79,000. Two months ago, the house two down from me went for 135,000 (this is down from the 150,000 homes were going for in my hood). I'm hoping that my equity, plus money meg and I have saved, plus home depreciation, plus (hopefully) continued good rates when we do decide to move where we would like to live translates to us getting much more house for even less payment than I'm currently making.

Opps, I included the wife's income.

On the mortgage stuff. I put down 20% on my $84,000 house 12 years ago. I dig my cheap ass house payment. I also wanted to avoid ghey PMI charges. Now with increased property value we have a nice chunk of equity built up.

Good citizens paid me just over $80,000 for 2008.. Truth be told though.. I worked quite a bit of OT to reach that mark though.. Some days were over 16 hours.. And each hour of OT is an hour away from home or out enjoying life.. So it comes at a cost.. And I only posted becuase it is open record to the public.. JS Online did an article and set up a data base for every Milwaukee employee's income for 2007.. I'm sure they will do it again this year to cry about how much some people make..
