No. An LAPD officer just out of the academy starts at $60,552. The information on salaries is public and I've linked the LAPD website below. Realistically, most officers have to work some overtime. Even so, the officer might make $70,000 with that. Most people finance cars and with say a 6,000 down payment and a loan term of 5 years, the officer could afford a $25,000 new car.

Nope...and just so you know, even with experience, DEA agents start at a GS-7 or GS-9 level - which means that you would be earning the equivalent of $50,000 to $60,000 starting out. It takes at least 4 years to get to the GS-13 level (where you would be earning the equivalent of $100,000). And that assumes you do your job as well as you can. After GS-11, grade promotions are not guaranteed.

NO. That's more than an entire year's salary at the base pay level. Plus, you have taxes taken out of your income. The amounts listed are always before taxes so your take home pay is less. And you don't win your income, you earn it.
