Although some lawyers are extraordinarily wealthy, being a lawyer alone is rarely a means to achieve extreme wealth. Indeed, the vast majority of lawyers earn relatively modest incomes among other professionals in the workforce.
While earning this salary, I did not really want for anything. At the time, I had a roommate, and my living expenses were pretty low. Moreover, since I had paid off most of my student loans while working in Biglaw, I did not need to devote too much of my salary to student debt. At this time, I also started working a number of side hustles, and this gave me access to more money that I could use to fulfill my financial goals.
