I briefly made more than one parent but I'm back to making significantly less than either.

My dad's first week out of college, he made more in a single week on the job than either of his immigrant parents made during a single week in either of their lives. He worked hard, put in his time, and worked his way up the ladder. At his absolute peak, he was making over $300k/yr (salary + bonuses), which I doubt I'll ever touch. So, depending on how you look at it, social mobility is or isn't a thing.

He still works, of course, but he's on a prorated salary which, in this case, means he works 3 days a week for $80k/yr (not sure if that's before or after bonuses).

I made more then my mom ever did when I was working a paid internship.

When I got my first job out of college, I was making just slightly less then my father was at the time, although he was working 2 jobs. However I have since surpassed him mostly due to raises and also because he is semi-retired now.

I have 2064 games and have beaten 310 games.
I make more than my parents did at my age (even adjusting for inflation), but less than they make now. Still on the same order of magnitude, though.

well, I make the same or less, but I have a fantastically better job. I'm also somewhat underpaid considering my skills. if I didn't have emotional problems I could be doing a LOT better.
Substantially less than when they were working.
