The market was up about 20% in 2021.
So if you retired in late 2020 with a $2 million lump sum, you are up $400K vs not having retired and slogged along at your desk.
Plus you would have been paid a year of salary during 2021; let's call that $300k.
And had your healthcare covered, maybe $12,000.
And got your 2020 bonus, perhaps $80k.
So, in 2021 you would have taken in $380K plus health, call it $400K plus same amount in lump sum appreciation gives you up $800K for the year.
This must have been written by some out of to touch executive (are there other kinds?)
"I wonder what a regular employee makes? $300k with $80k bonus... sounds about right"
That was not even close to what could be considered a coherent thought. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Have you ever set foot in an EM facility even, OP?
Are you paid by the word for this drivel?
Funny, I don't seem to remember getting my 80k bonus in 2020....
Guess I need to call payroll about the oversight.
Thanks Mr Math. Let us know when you get your crystal ball calibrated.
