I make less than a third of that and make it work (barely). Some people need to seriously reassess their priorities or something.
What's even the point of your comment, I'm not trying to be rude it just seems unhelpful and the attitude is prevalent. Sure, if people adjust their habits they could make due, but the problem is the fucking robbery of all working people so it's just wasting time bickering with points like this.
The point is that there is something fishy going on if you make $150k and still can't make ends meet.
My hunch is that there is obvious excess spending on things that aren't needed, and downsizing is the best solution. Families don't need a $80k SUV when a sedan would do for example. Joneses be damned.
Your 150k number continues to highlight how oblivious you are to the current state of the economy.
1 mil... maybe that has gotten past the orphan crushing machine/boring dystopia threshold, but there is almost no physical quality of life difference between someone making 50k a year and someone making 150k a year.
How does the old adage go?
Mo money mo problems.
The $150k was literally in the OP lol?
You've called me an asshole multiple times yet you've been incredibly toxic in this comment thread.
