Thats the thing, its NOT your story. You are adding to HIS story. You are a cog in the machine. You will never achieve what he has achieved because you are HIS EMPLOYEE.

When you get the nuts to leave and be a self made man, then you can have a story like that....until then, you are just making someone elses paycheck, no matter how high up you are.

You brainashed people never cease to amaze me with your bullshit.

Go sell the dream to someone that NEEDS TO BE SOLD on why staying with a company is a good idea...

Yes, these sorry fools who throw up the Taylors like they are related and live with them. Do people defend Wal-Mart and live through Sam Walton's story too?

There are 342 VP's or higher that work for ERAC lets say 300 of them are millionares.( and it could be all of them after this past year) Can anyone name another company that has 300 or more millionares working for them? Keeping in mind of those 342 people probably only a few of them have any education past college. Say what you want about bleeding green and being brainwashed those numbers are true. If you think making VP or higher is impossible how many people at ERAC make six figures relative to any other company. Its not perfect but if you work hard, have the right set of skills and the willingness to move anywhere oppurtunity is you can make it and if you dont then you can get one of the wonderful jobs everyone on here gets after they leave.

I question how many of them are "millionaires". They have to pay state and federal income taxes on that income and then not spend it all in a seriously upgraded consumer lifestyle. I'll bet there's a tremendous amount of competitive house/car/TV/vacation/clothes buying and I doubt many of them have actually saved $1,000,000 after taxes.

For example, even if you're earning $200K per year, after taxes you take home more like $100K per year, so even if you saved half of your take home pay (impossible for most Americans), it could take you 20 years to save a million dollars.

Erac used to guard this kind of info like they were the CIA. Makes me wonder if we aren't working towards a buyout or going public?

While I am not defending the otherside, I feel the need to point out that you chose not to include compound interest in your calculations...

That's a fair comment. I thought about this and then started wondering about whether the million dollars had to be in today's dollars or future dollars, and it got complicated.

Assuming your after-tax earnings on the compound interest were roughly equal to the rate of inflation, and assuming we're talking about today's dollars, then leaving out the compound interest makes sense.

But this is still a minor point; there are still an awful lot of Americans who earn big salaries who aren't anywhere near "millionaires" and in fact many of them actually live paycheck to paycheck.
