The 6 Figure Young Professional
Hi Everyone,
This group is for Young Professionals making 6 figures or more plus anyone that is looking to get there.
To be above board and provide transparency, I am asking that you do one thing if you join this group: indicate if you currently ARE making 6 Figures or if you WANT TO BE making 6 Figures. Cool? Thanks.
Making 6 figures isn't for everyone and I definitely am not a proponent of wealth for wealth's sake, extravagance, or greed. As well, I don't believe 6 Figure earners are better than anyone else - I definitely don't judge someone by the size of their paycheck.
But what I'm thinking is this - if someone in their 20's or 30's knows 'why' they want to make 6 figures and has the ideas and work ethic to do so, I say go for it. There's not point in waiting until you're 60 and it's too late to spend it!
In fact, a big reason I wanted to make 6 Figures was because it has allowed me to give a lot of my salary away to my church and other charities to help those in need.
I had my first 6 figure job at age 25 and haven't looked back since.
Join me.
Looking forward to connecting and helping more Young Professionals in their 20's or 30's make 6 figures.
Talk soon,
Andrew

I am a want to be. Not seeing the ability to get there anytime soon with my curren employer and decided to jump career paths. Looking right now to make the change.
I have wasted away my talents and lost track of my goals. Now that I am trying to get back on track I'm finding it MUCH more difficult than it ever should have been. Is there any advice you can give a 25 year old with lots of untapped intelligence that isn't shown very well by her past? I'm in debt and I'm trying to go to college for psychology, but I don't have good enough credit to get a loan. I'm really struggling to find a job right now too. Any advice?

Second, is your attitude. You have to change your attitude about this. Instead of saying I am trying to find a job and go to college. Start saying I will go to college and I will find a job. You have to push yourself to get to where you want to be. Your attitude determines your latitude. Not to be cliche, but it so true.
Third, you have to write an action plan to get your goals. Your action plan has to be realistic. For me my action plan in a situation like yours was to go to community college first. Go to night classes maybe a start for you as well. (I have a story I will send to you about this lady that was in a similiar situation as well)
Start out with those and then you will be back on your feet in no time and then back on the path to success!

Although having things are nice with a 6 figure job, I wonder what people would really do once they have accomplished this? My goal would be to provide housing for myself first, second, make it a place where people would connect as I would always have old friends and new friends over - especially those who do not have families or families are severely dysfunctional. Topic m/b, what would you do w/a 6 figure income?

That's the short list.

Maybe a good way to start off is this:
- at what age did you first make $100K?
- what one tip could you offer others looking to do the same?
:
What is your answer to this? I am very interested since I am a "wannabe". I am about as far from my first six figures as I can get. I'm actually ...MoreWhat is your answer to this?
