Hi Clive,

Can we also say this?

"I don't want to be 40 and make 200 dollars a year. I aspire to more."

Hi,

Yes. But I prefer 'making'. It seems to make it sound more like an on-going situation.

A more natural alterbative in my opinion:

I don't want to be making $200 a year (really! what currrency is this?) when I reach my 40, I aspire to make more.
