$11 million is just not a lot of money in accumulated wealth at age 50.
Oh really? Wow, Mr big Shot. Mr. Big bucks has spoken.
All that money and you will not live one more day. A career FBI Agent should not be a millionaire by the age of 50. That is BS. Something stinks.
What planet are you living on?
As government employees, FBI agents are paid according to the General Schedule, or GS, scale. The scale is a matrix that includes 15 grades and 10 steps, which allows for 150 different pay rates. An FBI agent at GS-12 step 5 would earn an annual salary of $68,993. More experienced agents with longer tenure will have a higher grade and step rating. An agent at GS-14 step 1 would earn $85,544, while an agent on GS-14 step 4 would have an annual salary of $94,097. The lowest base salary for an FBI agent would be GS-10 step 1, or $46,229. Midpoint would be GS-12 step 5 at $68,993. A senior agent with many years on the job could earn $130,810 at GS-15, step 5.
Let's use $75,000 as an average salary BEFORE taxes as a baseline over a 25 year career. Total salary = 25 x $75,000 = $1.8 million.
After taxes that is maybe $1M. Subtract food, housing, insurance, kids, local taxes etc. and there is very little left.
Your turn.
