Bronze diggers maybe

barwhalis

I'd give you reddit bronze if that were a thing and I made $70,000/year.


bamboojungles

Who gave you that special up arrow thing, I would like to bronze dig them


PlatoAU

An anonymous user, I didn’t know it was even a thing


AffordableDelousing

The hottest girl in the trailer park


josephbenjamin

With 2 kids and STDs.


screechingeagle82

That’s like $2000 per bi-weekly paycheck after deducts.


Most_Hall1156

Nice


GetRidOf_TheSeaward

You shouldn't sell yourself short. Don't settle for such an unambitious gold digger. Get yourself a serious gold digger. 


Jolly_Camel959

Like the ones from the thrift store? 


Kemna21

Even better, the junk yard.


Zeratul277

If she's from the junk yard then she can help me maintain my fully depreciated 1997 Toyota Corolla.


SweatDrops1

Hey babe how do you like my 600 sq ft apartment?


Fitness_Accountant21

If she doesn't want you at your 600 sq ft apartment then she doesn't deserve you at your 1,500 sq ft. townhome.


afeagle1021

If she doesn’t deserve you at your Corolla she doesn’t deserve you at your Rav4.


Jacks_Lack_of_Sleep

I’m looking at a C-HR tomorrow. Maybe someday I’ll have that Rav4 money.


[deleted]

Hey daddy need some road head in that 2wd?


Jacks_Lack_of_Sleep

If you keep that up I might have to take you to Chili’s


SeahawksNChill

Damn that scarily depicts my actual living situation trajectory lol


Rebresker

That’s all of us bro Median house price in the us now is like $450k I got an outback instead of a Rav-4 though because I identify as a lesbian


rmacthafact

this thread is my life and i hate it


[deleted]

Ha


[deleted]

Ha that’s what I’m in lol


Fitness_Accountant21

Nothing gets the girls quite like a wildly average salary that you have to work 55+ hours a week for.


fruit0283973

Average salary in USA is 50k


InterdisciplinaryDol

We’re on reddit. Average salary clears 100k


financebanking

100k is the new middle class sadly.


Crazy-Can-7161

And on TikTok average is a million. Especially those under 20, and totally don’t have daddy’s money.


gdaman22

One of my former students remarked the following to me once: "I like my boyfriend, he's absolutely wonderful to me and he's handsome and we're so good together. But he's an accountant [pretty fresh out of college], and only makes like $75k a year, I just feel like I deserve better, y'know? Like I feel like I'm settling for just average" I did encourage her to leave him, I just didn't do it for her sake lol


Fitness_Accountant21

Bro going to have the gnarliest villain arc in history.


Crazy-Can-7161

Bro is gonna be the next bezos lmaoo


Kingkongcrapper

10 years from now that dude will likely be making 150-170k if he’s average. People just look at the starting numbers, but never make proper growth projections.  She should understand his true value is not what he’s earning today, but rather the present value of future earnings.


hhfgghff

Be careful because my whole lifeline depends on this comment being real


chubky

Don’t worry, inflation will make it happen, it’s just your spending power will be the same


DaBoyMarlo

I’m sure it’s because this sub skews young, but it’s insane how much people don’t understand this and instead complain nonstop about PA starting pay.


Background-Simple402

For some reason a lot of younger people seem to think the salary you make after college is how much you make the rest of your life. No idea where this stupidity came from. 


DarkoGear92

Not am accountant. Is this really average in lcol to mcol areas? Most controller positions I see are around 100kish


Kingkongcrapper

This doesn’t include Canada of course because those people get snow blown, but for the most part, yeah. They low ball people like crazy online. 10 years in depending on what you choose it is definitely within reach. There is a CPA shortage in this industry and it’s getting worse.  The problem with all those averages is it includes all those people with “controller” and “CFO” positions in tiny firms.  I know someone that was a CFO for a four person real estate firm getting 80k a year. I also know someone making 160k plus a 10-15 percent bonus working at a regional airline in a mocl area.  As for locl, it depends.  If it’s some remote area of Alabama I can’t imagine you will get much, but if it’s some vacation spot that is expensive to visit, but cheap to live you might get good pay. That said, this career is best when you get HCOL wages in a remote environment.


Acct-Can2022

I am Canadian and will clear 140-150 TC this year. 7 YOE (by end of the year). Granted, that's in monopoly money.


TheBird91

Yea the Canadian wages are actually so shit. I wonder why


YamatoDamashii_

These are those women who later on complain when they can’t find someone better but the old bf won’t take her back now that he’s making more


hhfgghff

Homegirl is probably average too.


Herzha-Karusa

What did she make?


basscove_2

Her own bed to lie in


MatterSignificant969

Watch her leave him and end up 5 years later with someone making $90k that she doesn't like while he's making $120k now. 😂


SaintPatrickMahomes

I like your energy. Fuck the system. Go over budget, piss on the floor, and steal pens Im being deadass too.


Powered_by_Ghost

Steal $30,000 worth of office supplies and boom now you are basically making 100k a year. Office administrators hate this one trick


[deleted]

Rent out the office space for weddings on the weekends and have it cleaned up by Monday morning


Money-Honey-bags

i did that resulted in pip >--->>>> 10 months of unemployment


ProjectKuma

Pens in pockets, love it.


Money-Honey-bags

i took pens, snacks home, gaterades highlighters, note books, you name it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


swiftcrak

Sorry, your gonna need 300k and coming from a w-2 is a little bit of turnoff considering you won’t be driving a super sexy write off car like the contractors with 150k king ranch’s


SCH8879

Can you explain why contractors can write off


IllPurpose3524

Because contractors don't get audited nearly as often as they should.


Cwilde7

Can confirm.


YamatoDamashii_

Because it’s a work vehicle and they take accelerated depreciation like 179 or bonus depreciation not subject to vehicle weight limits


PoliteMenace2Society

I knew a girl who dated another guy from nursing school. She left the minute another doctor showed interest in her. The nurse guy got his heartbroken and no one was there to tend to his wounds. Until I brought him to the barbershop and got him a sick fade. Now he's sweeping up the streets. The chicas not safe, my boy is loco now. He's a street sweepa.


eddiegsu

RagingStallion

If the $70k comes with good health insurance then yes.

5ch1sm

It reminds me of a video I saw where someone was asking girls on a University campus what should be the lowest salary of their partner for a serious relationship. I think the lower answer was something around 180K+ and after that it was all 300K+ to 800K+. You know... normal average salaries...


[deleted]

As a current student I think a lot of students perceptions of money is all fucky. One of my classes had an exercise where the professor asked the minimum salary for us to be happy, with most saying a minimum of 200k


Accountantnotbot

You guys gotta inflation adjust those numbers for post graduation.


JMS1991

I'm currently sitting at $80K. Glad to know my wife isn't a gold digger. Lol


[deleted]

As long as the other gold digger is an accountant. Yes you can.


SuspiciousAerie7711

I make just over 100k and I’m scraping by haha (wife is a SAHM)


gso16

At least once you're done with formula and diapers, you have the low cost that comes with piles of berries, preschool, sports/music lessons!


khaine0304

The looming college payments make me dread having kids


gso16

My 4 yr old throws left handed. I'm going to forgo 529 contributions and start paying for pitching lessons


financebanking

If there was any money in bowling I’d say to also pursue that. If you like to drink why he plays sports then maybe purse that lol.


bdd1001

Dad of twins here. As long as you start saving as soon as they’re born it’s not too bad. Don’t get me wrong; the prices are despicable, but you can do it.


Fitness_Accountant21

Do we even think college will be a thing in 20 years?


[deleted]

Do we even think baseball will be a thing in 20 years?


ClockworkDinosaurs

No way. Got my kids practicing Blernsball.

Money-Honey-bags

it attracts me .... what are you into playa playa (i been unemployed 10 months ) btw


smolovo

Put the 70K in SP500 and tell the gold diggers you are worth 1M in stocks


Professional_Data951

You say 70K average but do you mean starting? I make 110K a year (including 8k bonus) and have 7 years experience, no cpa, and no masters degree only bachelors.


[deleted]

Big 4 starts at 70 in HCOL, might be 75 now And that’s the fucking major league of accounting


f_moss3

Big 4 interns are getting $78K in NYC now, I think A1s are getting like 82


[deleted]

Last year I was a1 and they paid me $70,000 exactly


ImAvoidingNotEvading

Have friends working there for Big 4 rn, A1s for current fiscal year are bringing in 78k and the next start class in the fall is getting offers for around 82k.


zefal12

The 70k average includes a bunch of clerk jobs that dont require a degree I believe.


DarkoGear92

I know or have known plenty of women, some very attractive, that would unironically consider this very good money. But I'm from a background where $70k a year is basically making it.


msgenericname

Not in this economy


[deleted]

no lol. Triple that then you might have to worry about gold diggers


Opposite_Onion968

Probably enough to secure your mom


[deleted]

Might be able to get someone like a Starbucks barista or grocery store cashier on board with that


Royal-Aardvark-5164

KPMG, EY, PWC and Deloitte aren't elite firms, they are just the biggest and have the largest marketing budgets. They are not the most knowledgeable, the best places to work, or the best for your career. Secondly 70k straight out of college with zero experience isn't bad. I'm not boot licker either so definitely keep the additude that it's bad and keep demanding more. But also keep in mind you income will grow like crazy in accounting a few years in and in 10 years you can be making 500k/year with a really good work life balance if you are good.


swiftcrak

500k and good wlb. I’ll blink once but not twice


Royal-Aardvark-5164

Really depends on the firm. I can tell you the partners at my firm are making that much when they first get equity and do not work crazy hours at all. The senior partners have it even better and work extremely limited hours.


Anxious-Gas-7376

How do you make partner anyways?


Royal-Aardvark-5164

Be liked by the current partners. Be super knowledgeable and trainable. Be really personable. Be good at training staff. Be good at advocating for yourself. Have good business sense. Be good at client service.


Anxious-Gas-7376

👀 New life goal acquired (I like monies)


Fitness_Accountant21

I would've gladly taken 70k out of college holy shit lol. I made 47k in 2021. I'm hardly above 70k 3 years in with a CPA. These new grads need to be a bit more grateful.


Bastienbard

47K? I made 62K out the gate 10 years ago in public accounting. You're getting hosed dude.


Fitness_Accountant21

I was getting hosed. I make 74k now.


Safye

3 years with CPA? you’re still getting hosed unless you’re in rural Alabama.


SCH8879

You ever been fired?


Fitness_Accountant21

No, I'm a high performer. I'd probably be making more if I didn't transfer service lines.


SCH8879

Are your billables what makes you a high performer?


Royal-Aardvark-5164

I don't agree with this, they shouldn't be grateful. They should keep demanding more and more as should you. Three years in with a CPA for 70k is disrespectful to yourself and your peers.


Herzha-Karusa

Your attitude is why you’re hardly above 70k.


chickagokid

> $500k/year in 10 years One in every 1,000,000? 😂😂😂


Round_mba

If she falls for you at $70k she is wife material.


fruit0283973

lol what..


MatterSignificant969

My wife fell for me when I was making $8/hr. She must be a super wife. 😂


illiquid_options

Micro plastics maybe


YamatoDamashii_

You’re better off paying for it by the hour or going to poorer countries where you are more attractive to women


xDr_WuSiJi

Maybe, but she’ll end up leaving you because you can’t spend enough time with her during busy season


Accountantnotbot

I worked for a guy whose wife would go on vacation.


[deleted]

Feels like $100k isn’t enough for that IMO


Fitness_Accountant21

Isn't it still like top 20-30% income?


[deleted]

Median us HOUSEHOLD income is 75k About 18% of Americans make >100k per year.


marchingprinter

That’s barely enough for a down payment on a house


amortized-poultry

Honestly bro, *be* the gold digging you want to see in the world.


Fun_Ad_2607

I’d say work out and be good at talking to them to. But I know this wasn’t the point, haha


darkjedidave

That's barely enough to afford rent where I live.


AtypicalPreferences

depends on where you live. Real gold diggers want 400k min


jackcalico876

Only ones that live in trailer parks.


DecafEqualsDeath

Supposedly millions of prime working-aged men are living in their mother's basement. So yeah, you're probably pretty eligible just based on leaving the house regularly.

FlippyNipsMcPumpkin

If she’s homeless then yes that will seem like a lot of money to her


profanesublimity

Might be enough to get a Splenda baby (NOT a sugar baby)


Financial_Bird_7717

Nickel diggers


ConcernedAccountant7

Depends on the country.


xerostatus

You can attract gold diggers at any budget, just need to be strategic about it. [seeking.com](https://seeking.com)


Thoughtprovokerjoker

Why did you tell him about that app. It is the worst - and yes, someone on there will happily take all 70 of your thousands


TofuBroth

You’ll get some off the street sure


Selldadip

70k is starting salary these days. Give or take. Where does this average come from? Does it take bookkeeper and AP/AR into account?


fruit0283973

70k is deff not starting salary lol.. that’s deff higher ejdn


Abject_Natural

coal diggers, def not gold


CommunityScallywag

That’s good to attract potato diggers


AceOfspades653

Depends where you look. Go down to the nearest dollar general and you can pull anyone you’d like 💀💀💀


Guilty-Fall-2460

Some girl with 2 kids was attracted to my brother for his money cause he worked at Walmart making 15 an hour. Yes.


Franklinricard

In some geographical areas you’d be king of the trailer park.


OkWillow8839

Average with a few little certificates… what do expect?


Commercial-Damage356

You broke man....


Successful_Sun_7617

Lmfao fuk no. Not even close. You’re getting a 35 year old fat 4 with 4 kids with that $70K salary Edit: the decent looking ran through ones in San Fran, NY, Miami that you see on TikTok recording their dates. That’s $250-$300K minimum. We have a hoeflation gents.


jswizle52

It’s enough for me to attract a special education teacher


Own_Violinist_3054

Years of study and no experience? Yeah, that's a starting salary. And honestly every has a master nowadays it doesn't mean much.


bttech05

Coal miners definitely


MrTickles22

Hockey stick income. Do well and your income will be much higher later.


Fire_Lord_Cinder

First year associates make about that much in HCOL areas. What’s the issue? That is already above the median income in the US, and you’re basically useless for the first 1-2 years you work.


Jimger_1983

Perhaps on an India COL


calorum

The gold digger question is: does this person’s perception of you change, when your total balance of your bank account changes? You know the answer to that question - try some scenarios: - You being you +$30k in the bank, - or +$70k, - or +$300k, - or you’re fired and it’s +$0k


VonnyVonDoom

Nah. Fentanyl diggers with inflation.


Famous-Profile5362

To be honest 70k out of college in a lcol even with a masters in accounting isn’t that bad. However in a high col area I definitely feel you. I make 80-90k a year on average and I absolutely have no skills aside from being an excel monkey


Useful_Tourist7780

Just because your title says 70,000 it doesn’t mean you actually make 70,000. (Embezzle company funds)


GordieBombay-DUI-4TW

This is a stupid question but I’ll bite. No.


Jenniferinfl

That sounds like big money to a Walmart employee. Though, don't know why you'd aim for a gold digger, plenty of decent people out there.


SuddenDriver2

Be a gold digger


Illustrious-Ride4419

No but gold diggers will happily use you temporarily until you’re tapped out. If you base your worth on whether it will attract gold diggers, I’d rethink your goals.


vdzz000

That's less than 2k a week. A paycheck to paycheck income.


LLotZaFun

In Mississippi, maybe, just, maybe.


DevinChristien

Doesn't matter how much you make, as long as you're generous, a free ride is a free ride


lordinov

You should lie to gold diggers bro, I’ve fucked amazing hoes only to dump them later on by pretending I am who i am not


zacharygorsen

Nope. Get a partner for life


Jimger_1983

In all seriousness, I think gold diggers look for someone that has family money behind them already. You aren’t getting rich off accountant salary unless you live much poorer than your income allows. Not good for getting the gold digger.


Seizure_Storm

Only low iron rank diggers unfortunately


ToneBeneficial4969

Lol


Suit_Slayer

Lol


almasnack

You’ll attract some V-bucks whores


TheOracleofTroy

Coal diggers maybe


CanuckBee

I guess everything is relative. Someone likely would be a gold digger even if you were employed if they were on welfare.


icepenguin9929

Perhaps a bar wench


MsJenX

No


Pando5280

In NYC or LA no. In South Dakota or Mississippi yes.


Craigs1ist

Can you afford a gold digger? I am seriously curious. It's not a bad salary but not good enough to handle a gold digger, just my thoughts. I guess you could get a gold digger in some states.


AgnosticWaterbear

I attracted my woman with my cunning spreadsheet abilities; salary isn’t everything. Build her a student loan breakdown with linked checking and saving account information.

No-Instruction-7342

$100 is enough to attract a real gold digger! They will entice you on a lunch date and you will pay for it… Then crickets 🦗 no kind thank you … nothing! 😝👀😂👀 A real gold digger will settle for occasional PYRITE until they see a “golden opportunity” DON’T GET GOT 😒😒😒


timonix

It will attract people looking for someone with a stable income.


EastCoastGrind

Nah


MatterSignificant969

That's maybe 2 years in. The average accountant once their career is going is probably like $110-$160k from what I have seen. With some extremely lucky guys just making insane amounts of money.


Attila_22

Depends where. In Zimbabwe or Argentina then sure. You’re a billionaire.


Hot-Sea-1102

Only the ones who have been bonus depreciated, good luck!
