In fact, if I end up jobless in April, I might still have already made more in 2017 than they did in a whole year at my age.

Not me. Not even adjusted for inflation. But I recognize that I am an outlier. And my brother makes up for me.

In absolute $, I definitely am. In "how many years' salary would it take to buy a house" terms, I think they'd be way ahead. -- nm

I am not convinced how catastrophic that factoid is (making less than parents).
