I'd wager to say 99.9% of the world will never hit that $100k per year mark in their lifetime, ever.
It's a testament to the place we live in, that's for sure. Me personally, I'd never be a CA (just does not interest me one bit, I never aspired to be one as a kid lol, and I even went to business school), but it's interesting to watch the results of this poll, that's for sure.

Agreed. My mom just retired from teaching and my dad was a newspaper editor. Even if they were still married, there is no way their combined salaries would reach $100,000. Both are remarried and neither of their spouses work. I have no idea how any of them live on those amounts. It's likely because they have lived that way for over 60 years and aren't materialistic.
