How to make $150k in a year

[LevelUP]

Job
If you have the skills, then you get a job for $150k. If not, you need to work your way up. A decent entry-level starting salary is $25hr or 50k a year. You can make 6 figures right away in a commission sales job, but it's not for everybody.

Paying off debt
F.I.R.E. stands for “Financial Independence, Retire Early.” The goal is to save and invest aggressively—somewhere between 50–75% of your income. That's how you would pay off your debt the fastest.

Buying a house
During the housing crash and for many years after, you could buy a house in some parts of the Midwest, such as St. Louis, for only $20,000.

Another strategy is house hacking, for example, buying a duplex and renting out the other half to pay your mortgage, so you're living there basically for free.
