Still, I am a loser compared to the lawyers, traders and bankers. The earning curve gets steep beyond the top 10%.
Probably, people who are competitive and concerned about their income gravitate towards this forum. The visitor profile here is probably very skewed towards the higher earners. Of course, there may be some big talkers bluffing about their income as well, but who knows?
I use this forum to motivate myself to think of ways to earn more money.

I do not think you are a loser in comparison. Its just that the salaries of the bankers and lawyers are so inflated that it makes the majority (90%) of others in the workforce look bad. As an absolute figure, you are doing pretty well based on the 'official' government figures. So let's ignore the ridiculously 'high' salaries of others which they simply pluck from the air.
Well. i earn $30K p/m, am only 32. lol...
