Don't know what made me think of this. Perhaps looking for a new job has made me more aware of what jobs pay.

How many of you make more than your parents? Does it make anyone feel awkward?

When I was working, I always made less than my parents. I am in publishing, though, so that is expected.

DH and his brother, on the other hand, make more than their parents.

I make more than both of them combined. Its no big deal. They are very proud of what I have accomplished.

Combined DH and I make about the same as my parents. Neither of us have finished school yet.

We make more than both of our parents.

I make about the same as my mom does, DH probably makes roughly the same amount as my dad. If we moved back to NY, we would probably make a lot more though and it would be more than them. I don't think I make as much as DH's mom, but she's been a school teacher for about 20 years....

I've never felt bad about making more than my mother - if anything they push me to get more money, ask for a raise, etc.
