Really, its up to you. Take from me as a friend: if at your age, you don't know "what you really want", then you're in serious trouble! You and YOU alone can answer that question. The right question to ask is "How much do i want to earn at the age of 28?" and then plan your life and work towards it. I'll recommend you visit this website http://www.tonyrobbins.com

0 - 70k USD.\n\n0, obviously, if you're unemployed.\nFreelance can be around 700 a month.\n30k is about normal in companies.\nMy boyfriend's making 60-ish K as a graphic artist for the US Army.\nIt really varies.

yup, unless you're 59 and a half, then you will have to pay the full tax on the money taken out of your 401k plan, which means if you are working right now, you are in your income earning years, hence your tax bracket should be higher, maybe even to the next level depending on how much you take out of your 401k, since that would be counted as regular income.  and the IRS (uncle sam calls it a penalty, but I like to call it a tip) would also be needing that tip from you, a 10% tip for every buck you want to take out.  so, if you take 20,000 out, that would be more like 14,400 if your bracket is in the 28% range minus $2000 for that tip i would telling you about, which leaves you 12,400 for taking out 20,000.  not really worth it huh

If you are working for a company with a 410K plan, definitely contribute the top percentage you are able to. I began when I was 21, and now that I'm 28 I have a HUGE amount of savings in mine.

You can make alot but depends on where you work.  Print shops pay very well.  Alot of graphic designers also free lance.  They get leads from print shops and other places.  You can start off on the high side.  My friend started off at 35k

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations.  The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise".  Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country.  I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills.  On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year.  Most colleges track this information.  It helps employers and employees!

A lot.  Then again it wouldn't really matter if you made that much.  It's like 7 times what a normal person makes.

that really depends on your idea of comfortably.  What does comfortable mean to you?  How big of an apartment do you want, how close will you live to your workplace (ie. how much $ will go to public transportation, taxis), how often do you like to buy new clothes, how often do you like to go out socially? \n\nBased on my standard of living comfortably, I would say, for a single person with no dependants, you should be making at least $30,000/year.  Good Luck

30 - Old enough to know what you want out of life.  Pretty set in your career.  And young enough to start a family.\n\nIf you don't want to have kids...stay single!

So much left unanswered.  Do you wanna retire now or in 20 years?   My assumptions are that you are married and children will be on their own, you have no debt whatsoever, can obtain a 6% rate of return, will retire in 20 years when you are 60, and need about $50,000 a year for 20 years of retirement.\n\nYou will need to have $575,000 in savings in 20 years.\nYou can obtain this amount by saving about $16,000 a year for the next 20 years (6% rate).\n\nThis scenario is very obtainable.  Of course, numbers will be different as the factors above change.  Good luck.

In short, you can't (serious money anyway), the system is structured against you. If you are not old enough to get a "real" job, I would suggest a papper route, it is good exercise, and it is probably the most money you can make before you are old enough to be employed. If you have the time and energy, you can even take up multiple paper routes, this will help you earn more money faster. But remember, there is alot of walking involved in paper routes, and you usualy have to get up VERY early (like 4:00-5:00am).\n\nGood Luck!

it depends on how you want to live and where you want to live.  Supposedly, i could live like royalty if I were in Mexico because it is much less expensive there to live and I've been working and saving for 20 years.  I couldn't do that here without penalties to my retirement accounts.  You are supposed to work til you are 65.  Unless you win the lotto.  Better start playing!

Depends on where you live...you can make pretty good money though. 300-400 weekly, the more routes you pick up the more money you will make.
