Mid 40s mean that both of you still got promotional opportunities. So just work on.

As you did not say how the $169k is divided between you and spouse, I will assume both of you earn equally at $85k pa or $5.7k pm (assuming 2 months bonus and 13th month pay).

$5.7k pm is low for a mid 40 grad.

While good pay is important, other important factors are work life balance and nature of job. Also if your expense is only $100k pa (like mine) you will be able to save $69k every year. Better than a couple earning $250k pa but can only save $50k.

I think we are the lowest paid graduate couple in our age group.

Do you know of any working graduate couples in our age group earning less than us?
