What's your own personal yearly salary - NOT including your husband's contribution? No need to disclose specific amount, just answer the poll anonymously.

Do you mean household income or personal salary?

Personal - only you, not including your income from your spouse. Sorry, should have clarified.

I don't work... I just contribute whatever is left over from my financial aid from college. My Son gets $650/mth in child support but I don't count that as "Mine" since it is for "him" :)

I took a pay cut this year from $60,000 to $40,000 after electing to switch teams and I'll be taking another paycut to $21,000 when I move to VA :mumble. Hopefully it'll be worth it!

I get paid in hugs and kisses. And also in dirty diapers, spit-up, crankiness from teething, 2 year old temper tantrums, 6 year old whininess about not wanting to do homework, etc. I'm priceless. :giggle

Long distance relationship

After 3yrs of long distance I'll gladly trade it in for a chunk of my wages. :D Hopefully I'll go back to my previous wage once I've finished my quals.

$50-$60, but will take a paycut to $30 when I go part time after the baby is born. Seems crazy though, since I am sure I will be working HARDER with an infant and part time job, I should be getting double, not half of what I am now. blah.

$37k annually when I get back to work....LOL. They are getting ready to change civil service over to a new pay structure, which will likely raise my salary to about $40k annually by spring.

12-12-2007, 02:13 PM
50 to 60k but I hate what I do. I'm also back in school full time AND working full time and I can't wait till next school year when I can go part time, yay!! I'm switching from being a lawyer to being a screenwriting professor (hopefully, lol...).

I make about $20,000 a year right now including the stuff I do on the side (private tutoring, etc). I'm a full-time college student..hopefully when I graduate next December I'm making more than that! I love my jobs though.

The one good thing about MiTT deployments are choice of follow on assignment, so I am living where DH will be stationed when he gets back and we chose somewhere where I can make some decent money (59k)
