I went from $20 a week allowance to $500 a month as an adult to $1600 now.
At the end of my more or less 'standard' career (I work for myself now), I was pulling in roughly 7 to 10 times what I started making when I first entered the workforce.
steady upward movement
mine is down since i cant find work, been going to school and getting grants but thats like getting paid 3 times a yr, it stinks
