And that stupid American how-much-do-you-make-a-year question... It's like asking how tall someones dick is (well, is...) to verify if your dick has a normal size.
Myself, I have a average job in a distribution center. It pays the bills -so to say- and it's only for 20 hours a week, so not too much stress, I can be myself pretty much, no boring meetings and other company related shit. The rest of my time I spend on personal projects like programming and investing.
