Earning six figures a year is a dream for many. It is the reason why people slog their way through college and why they battle crippling student loans their whole life. It is why they struggle through internships, which are basically indentured labor. Financial security is a goal that most of us have. We want to reach the end of the month and not be exasperated at the notion of paying bills. If we are lucky enough to land a job that provides us with a six-figure salary, then that is even better. But six figures are not necessarily as much as you would initially think.<\/p>\n
