My family spoiled me, my parents lived a good life, my sister is rolling in her and her fiance's money, and I need the same. I'm a greedy bastard. My world revolves around the mighty green dollar.
I used a military pay calculator. Even an E-5 after 4 years using the CONUS AVERAGE with no COLA or other bonus pay, it is $46,081.32. Stop bitching.

You still got the salary wrong.
I'm not bitching, I chose to do what I do, but there is no comparison in the civilian world to what I actually do.
Your "job" in the Air Force is not representative of the military(even the rest of the Air Force), and you fucking know this.
