When I graduated college and was hired by IBM making I think $6500 a year with good benefits. I thought I had made it and set a goal that if I could reach 10K a year I would be affluent. It took me less then 3 years.

I always had good jobs making good money before that as I got my master electrician license right out of high school and even had my own business during college. The difference was I now had a career and knew I could go places once I was working for a large company.
