Much less. By my age, my mom had an impressive teaching career and my dad worked at the Exxon chemical plant. His job was extremely hard to get and he had to have tons of offshore oilfield work, college degrees, and my grandfather (my moms dad) was so important to the company and nation that the White House sent him a letter saying that he was too important to the nation to be sent to WW2 to fight. He put in a good word for my dad, too. Thats how tough it was to get that job, so I can honestly say that nothing Ive done has even come close to eclipsing my parents success by my age.

They also owned a house and had kids, which I dont have and cannot afford. In my defense, their generation got to keep their paychecks and things were not as cartoonishly expensive as they are now. An average house in my city is like $700,000 when the same houses sold to my parents generation for less than $100,000.
