My 2015 income was about $150K less than my income in my last full year of work before retirement. Formerly I was a one percenter; now I am not. I suspect that I was a one percenter for about 25 years until my retirement in 2010. Multi-ticketed oil patch tradesmen like me made out like bandits in the night during Alberta's boom.

Even though I am no longer a one percenter I am still doing OK.
