But how many of them will celebrate their 40th birthday soon?
Well, first off, I should have mentioned that for many of those people, it is the gross salary that is five-digits; the net salary is usually four digits (unless you are really in the top). Second, your monthly pay (before taxes) is not five digits *yet*, because you have not been in that job all that long. I think it would be reasonable to expect your salary to eventually (in 1-2 decades) as your career advances, become a five-digit salary.> >I don't get overtime, Jeroen, so that doesn't help much :-) > > Wow, your salary is *that* high?

While While I'm not going to tell you my salary, I can assure you that it isn't anywhere close to five digits in a month.
