As requested by Paladin Blake (what is your annual pocket money if you are too young to work).

I'm a landlord, I pull in around $16,800 CAD from rent money annually. Plus my annual salary at my workplace, which is around $6,720-ish.

I think i'm pretty set for my age

Between what I get from the state of Kansas for taking care of my disabled sister and the income from my engraving business, I usually make around $18,000-$20,000.

At an exchange rate of 1 pound = 1.6 dollars, I sneak into the $80k-$100k bracket.

I only make bout 30-40k but if you add the wife we are around 110-130k(go honey go!)

I make just over 30 grand, with the wife more than doubling that. We're in the 50 to 60k range.

I wonder how many of our wives make more than us? Have the breadwinners become the women?

According to the poll we have one millionaire among us.....concrete proof that Jervis Johnson reads Dakka! :lol:

This is all over the place.

Go! Jervis Go!

Somehow I made 21K last year

With my pocket money I earn way more than 300$ annually.

I earn about £600 anually, but, fool that I am, I forgot to convert for the poll. I earn about $1000. Yay for paper rounds and parents!

I think I made somewhere around $3000 this year. Last year it was probably double that because I was able to work during school... damn degree takes too much time.

I don't get pocket money or have a job (yet), so $0.

I included my income with my wife's for this poll. I wasn't sure if this was individually or household.

I included the income my wife will make when starts work in two months. Without that, it'd be about 2/3rds less. I'm definitely in wife-is-breadwinner club forever. Cool!

This topic begs for a followup poll "What percentage of your income goes to Miniature Wargaming"

I make about £750 a year from Paperround and a bit extra from GrandParents. Not having anything better to spend it on, 40k all the way!

I'll be lucky to scrap in $200 a year from painting and drawing commissions. And I'm still desperately searching for a job.

Now that Im no longer a university student and cant spend loads of other peoples money, I'm living with my parents and being skint. :(

When I make enough from guitar lessons to buy some models its a bonus!

College student on the Federal Work-Study program. It's part of my financial aid package and therefore has a set upper limit. I get paid by the hour like every other schmuck working on/around campus, but I can never earn more than a grand a semester. If I use up my allotment in February by working a ton of hours, then I don't work until the following fall. :( Hopefully I'll land somewhere a bit higher than $2k once I'm done with school, as my earnings will be going to rent, not 40K (which is good, since paint is a lot cheaper than a new squad - I may have two fully painted, if relatively small, armies after a few months ).

Are you serious? 10 people said 1,000,000+

You honestly don't think that of all the readers on dakka, 10 might make over a million?

There's a guy in our group....well, somewhat outside of our group, that we swear must be a hitman. He's always buying stuff. Not just 40k, but other game systems and also new computers, tvs, other technology all the time. We figure it must be near 500k a year, yet all he does is play WoW all the time, unless he deigns it worth appearing on gaming nights.

Guy like that has plenty of time to peruse forums.

Me, I just got promoted to assistant manager at my restaurant, so I'm pulling about 32k a year now. Fiance makes around 24, so we're decently set for our ages. Now if only she could get her debt under control....

Thanks to a strongish Aussie dollar, Im cracking $89k in US dollars. Double that if you include the soon to be wife.

10 over 1mill - I had heard it rumoured that you needed to buy your way into being a dakka dakka mod, but never had I seen the proof!

I get just over R90 000 annually so converted to USD that's in the low end of the $10,001-$20,000 range, but if I worked in America doing the same job I'd be in the $50,001-$65,000 range.

Work for my pops, we run our own little business empire. Making 75,000$ CAD when you're 22 is sweet!

$500 ish Canadian. A bit less American.

As pocket money, I fit into the biggening of the second bracket hahaha, I lol'd

Single O-1 w/6 years of service works out to ~$45,000 annually, after taxes. Not exactly sure what it is before, or what the equivalent civilian compensation package is (probably ~$60k). I just voted for $40-50k for simplicity.

Pocket money of 300 euros = 407 dollars, and if I get a summer job this year it means about triple of that (guess on which they are gonna go?).

Well I put no money, I dont have a job I am only 16 . Well that doesnt exactly ecuse me from getting a job, but I do get a lot of money from my mum haha. I will hopefully get a job when I start college , I want to work in the work shop while at university if I can make time .

With the current poor conversion to US dollars i'd be in the 50-60k bracket.

I get around £1500 from cleaning at butchers, then convert I am in the $1001- $5000 bracket. Not bad for saying 75% goes on 40K.

Making 1,000,000+ a year could be easy if you spent all your time in front of the computer trading stocks, so it is possible. But I think all the people who put that did it as a joke.

I knew one multi-millionaire who collected GW models. On several occasions I watched him purchase crates, (yes, entire creates, that's like 50+ boxes IIRC) of IG tanks, SM tanks, and troops. It was completely insane. He'd then commission them to be build and painted. I never saw it, but I was told he had a hall full of display cases with the models in them, much like the pictures of Warhammer World.

I was in the $30-40k bracket until February, when I left work. But I have $90k or so in the bank

meh, i'm in high school. Got a good paying summer job, though, about $250 a year.

I'm a registered nurse so I get a good base and with overtime I usually make right around 100k each year.

My crappy office job nets me around $25k, but since my girlfriend and I are temporarily living with my parents, rent is cheap and utilities don't exist - so most of it goes towards minis.

using 1.6 conversion rate I take home about 45k

Those that make over a million probably don't advertise it much.

I fall into the category of pocket money, of which I can make around $150 a month.

ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!


nah as a 14( and a half! D: ) year old, i dont make much. my allowence is about 520$ a year plus a job as an umpire gives me about 125 dollars more.

As a WG-6 government civilian in the Balt-Wash locality, I'm in the 40k-50k range, so I put that.

Add in the wife, who makes just a hint more, we'd be in the 100k-ish range.

Wait someone is making more money than me. Time to motivate the minions to work harder, not smarter!

None of your damn business.

…is what I would say to anyone who asked me this question in the outside world, so it is the answer I will give here.

lol, I'm happy to admit that as a university student after tuition I'm pulling ~30 000$ american... in May I'll be making ~50 000$


*spelling.

My taxable income is about $30,000. My adjusted income for all my benefits is closer to $50,000. Thats how much the Air Force pays me.

Someone with my job and experience in the civilian world can make about $60,000 to $100,000 easy.

I only got about $8000 here, but I think I will got a lot more if I work in the US...

$ 8000/annual equals about 84,000,000 IRD here, which is pretty much a good amount of money here...

And I work as an IT Supervisor/Cyber Security Advisor here :p

30-40k on the low end of that though

around 500$ which is pretty good considering im 16 and jobless

Being a student in Sweden I receive 3000 SEK a month, which translates to just around $5000 a year. I'm currently looking for a job though, and if I manage to net myself one it'll most likely jump up to about $17000 a year. My girlfriend is also a student and she is on student loans now which nets her ~$15000 a year, so combined we are around $20K now but if I manage to get a job we'll skip up to $30-35K annually.

well 10,000 - 20,000 till i get out of school then it will be almost double that and oooh the list of WH40K stuff i will be buying.

I make nothing,but I do all the housework,cooking and cleaning,dishes and laundry.

So if I ask for money,I get it.

Interesting how even this poll is over all of the options... pretty surprising!

Yearly income and disposable income are very different. An single 18 year old E2 in the Navy gets $1645 a month + Free room & board. Disposable income=$1645 a month-taxes. A guy like myself with a wife, X wife, student loans, and kids ranging from 14 months to 16 years can make over 3 times as much as a seaman apprentice in the Navy and not have a 3rd of the disposable income as a seaman apprentice.

I made roughly $600 last year, and am looking to make double that this year, if all goes well with commission work! Time to start saving up for college...

_Tim?

I fall into the $20K-$30K bracket. I would like to thank every US taxpayer for paying my salary. While I don't make as much as I could in the private sector, I still do pretty well with the Army.


@schadenfreude: I hear ya there. I'm hoping to get promoted soon, but the family does mean disposable income is rather restricted.

Residence might be a big factor in this pool. In some countries you can get double to ten times the salary for the exacly same job.

I earn 52'000 (before taxes) for working at a 65% job.

$10 A month allowance and $20 for good report cards, along with birthday and Christmas money comes out to around $270.

Even tough 29 of us said it, I guarantee none of us earn above 1,000,001

I'm in the 90k ballpark right now. But when I am at work all my expenses including flights, food and accomodations are free, so it leaves me with a little more disposable income. Too bad I have to spend my extra cash getting divorced lol.

Somehow I doubt we have 30 millionaires floating around Dakka. =p

Between my wife and I, we make 100k+; I account for 70% and she for 30%.

On top of that, I get a nice chunk of tax-free income in VA disability every month for all the years I put into service.

Currently making maybe 13k a year. However, I just graduated college, so I do hope to earn some more soon.

Currently making a little over 150k+(bonus + stock not added in) without the wife's income added in, and no debt to speak of so it helps with hobbies like this.
Should also mention post grad degree and under grad degree in computer science.

I feel that I am extremely fortunate and doing great in my field of expertise. ~$73k at the age of 25 is not too shabby. I believe I will be making ~90k at 28 and ~125k at 32 if I continue with the job. Hope everyone else here in Oklahoma and the US can find a job that they love and receive the pay I do.

Just an FYI, I hold a degree in Computer Science.

In the range of 20k to 25k personally.

My girl makes twice as much as me, but that's because she takes so much of my product.

Not much...

I myself am a welder. I make just over 20k a year. That is also being very underpaid.

Give me a job at GW and a better paycheck, why are you asking this, it maks me feel poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

Right now I'm working at a hotel, but I'm starting at a university at the end of this summer, so my income wil go down a lot as I don't have time for work. At the hotel I would have been making around 175.200 DKK if I were to work there for a full year (currently I've been there for three whole months), that would be around 33.519 USD.
After danish taxes the end result would be 20.110 USD - go semi-communism!

0 Bucks. Someone give me a frakkin' job!!

Quite frankly, who gives a ****?

I doubt there are 39 people on dakkadakka bringing in 1 million plus???

Ouch, I think welders here make 60-80k, I assume that since thats what the hall truck drivers make(all you do is drive circles pretty much)

Scientist here with 4 years in my current job. Right around $45k a year (but 0 debt so I get to live way more comfortably than some of the people who make 2x as much as me).

Im a student yay me 1 to 5k for me woot

I am part of the SuperMarket SuperForce and earn a little above Uk Nat minimum wage, 39 hours a week plus time and a half on sundays. Yippeee!!!!! I am quite happy working for an equivalent amount for the rest of my life, that way the student loans company will have to wait many years for me to start paying back the ~10,000 i owe them.

Well, I have a job now, if my math is right Ill make around the 20000$ range

.

$0.00

I am in the middle of setting up a business for myself so right now I get nothing at all. Hopefully money will start coming in when it all starts working properly, but until then my savings will have to do.

if converted:

alone I earn about $83,000

wife adds another $60,000

...on the DISPOSABLE part well... 2 kids... lets just say I had more cash to my name when was waitering in Varsity... but then again I didn't drive an AMG in varsity...

I'm over 100k, but my wife is a low paid teacher with a Master's Degree and I am an IT consultant. Funny how it works that way. We do have a 1 year old and a mortgage not too mention we live in the most taxed state in the US so spending money is not as good as it used to be.

Whats up with some of these low numbers? I get NZ$30 a fortnight for working around the house, thats about US$677 a year giving the current exchange rate.

Congrats to the 50 Mil+ earners!

This should be normalised and converted into annual salary in terms of boxes of tactical squads bought from local GW!

Pretty good spreads of incomes. Most guys at my store are cheap and broke. Seems like only I bring the beer.

I don't quite break the mil, poor exchange rate currently. Though of the nay-sayers I'd point out that that London City lawyers, in corporate law, can be charging between £500-£1000 an hour, non-partners £300-£400.

What's more, you can charge fees concurrently, and certain actions have flat rates attached to them. If I do something that is a 2 hour job in 45 minutes, I still get 2 hours of pay. Spending 5 minutes with someone will still count as a full pay section, so a few hours could be far more than that number of hours x hourly rates.

Even someone with only a year or two experience in corporate law in the City would have to only work the equivilent of 24 hours a week to earn over $1m.

Somewhere between $12,000 and $15,000. I hate the service industry.

Wow - one out of 4 people on Dakka make less then $416 a month. I did not expect that, as high-end as Warhams are.

I normaly earn around 350 000 US a year, witch comes in handy when dealing with GW

oh didn't see it's annual... lol. Then 6000 as a student

$5000+ when converted to US Currency

all that cheese and you havent put a slice on dakka?!

How many people actually answered this honestly i wondered?

What is the Avg wage in the US i have no idea of context

Im a 16 year old student who sometimes earns himself a little money here and there. So about 100 - 300 of your usd (only)

oh yeah forgot theres chrismas, birthday and rich uncle....

so add some 200 or 300

My wife absolutely cains me for earnings. Not only does she wear the trousers, she also last year vetoed me on the car. This is annoying because for the 1st 10 years I brought home the bacon so I got to decide which car "We" were buying.

It's like being emasculated...On the plus side, I could become a house husband and look after the kids, do the house work and devote an hour a day to mini's.

Average earnings in the UK are £13000 so 1.6 = $20,800 dollars. Not to be big headed here, but this hobby isn't really for people with low IQ's, so I would expect a higher number of higher IQ's and therefore a slant towards Professionals, University and College Grad and the White collar middleclass. The Fairly even spread in percentage terms is quite surprising, no (well very slight) Gaussian/Bell shaped curve distribution, maybe the earnings brackets are too narrow and the graduations are not uniform across the brackets need a better scalar.

I roughly earn $42000 before taxes.
FYI: I hold an degree in analytical science.

Pretty happy only being 20, I earn 19000$ Pro Rata for my current temp job and 6500$ for my permenant weekend shop job, unfortunately the first job is a temp position so thats gonna be out the window soon..........

FYI - Training to be an accountant, currently undergoing AAT level 3

If I take into account my whole package I'm in for around $110,000
Not including whatever my Wife earns.

I make between 50-60k and the wifey stays home with the kiddos. When the kids start school and she goes back to work its gonna all be gravy!!
