Incomes and wealth are not just objective numbers—there is a large element of perception involved in whether someone thinks they are doing well.

You are not poor, you just think you are.

    Yeah, love earning 6 figure salaries and being unable to afford a house anywhere in the city I live, even in the poorest places, because they've all been scouted by speculators. Love house prices increasing every year by a number several times my total salary. Love inflating food and power. Love watching the upper-middle class friends I have who did have kids have to constantly rely on parents to keep them fed.

    So much fun, loving it. Owning more than a single home in a city should be banned unless you have a very good reason.

      :grillman:: Just become a speculator yourself, bro. All of these would be a good thing if you used your boomer superpowers to just snap your fingers and become a billionaire. What do you mean you're not as lucky as I am?
