I’m curious to everyone’s thoughtful on how they plan on trying to retire. Also how old are you and what do you do? How much do you make? I’m so curious to see different answers from different income levels.

I've worked only a few so far, but initially the job posting was for a loan officer assistant position, and the pay range was anywhere from 50-150k. The job is located in a larger office building, and the interview went really well, and I was offered a job on the spot. I ended up accepting the job after being assured that I would make 15 and hour for the first 2-4 weeks and after the initial training I…
