If it’s not taxed at the moment, then it’s not taxed for the purpose of the poll. This is about what you’re earning this year, not what you might be earning in the future.

How much money do you earn annually before tax?

I’m an artist; I’ve been drawing since I was two years old.
That means that I always have a boring day job which doesn’t pertain to my degree in order to pay the bills, and that I’ve always known that its highly unlikely that I’ll ever be rich, or even “socially secure.”
Also I’ve lived in the Bay Area extensively, so I can personally attest that the cost of living there is astronomical, and the general perspective about what’s actually “affordable” to the average person is severely skewed.
I have no reliable way of measuring my intelligence, have above average earnings for where I live, but approximately average for the sector that I work in, and have a name which is often nicknamed “Dick.”
On the subject of which bracket I’m in: I chose the $30K-50K bracket because you specified USD; if the USD-CAD exchange rate makes its way back to parity, I’d be in the $50K-100K bracket.
