stop with these BS MSM articles that they turn out regularly about upper middle class amercians struggling. They are struggling because they can't imagine lowering their high consumption levels.
My dad made the upper end of five figures most of his life, so not even half what these people do, and he just retired sitting quite pretty. Granted he's an accountant so very good with money, but the dude hasn't been living like a hermit either, he's got a condo 10 minutes from the beach and goes to happy hour almost every night. Honestly the main thing is he didn't spend his money on dumb shit, no sports cars or boats or Rolex's.
So I find is so bizarre these people are "struggling", cuz like my dad is pretty treated up on much less of a budget. You really don't have to live a meager lifestyle, you could totally live it up on $250k and be financially stable, you just have to have some reasonable budgeting skills.
If I made 250k a year I could eat at a michelin starred restaurant every day and still have momey left over. I'm genuinely appauled at their consumption.
Look buddy. I need a McMansion and a Ford F-950 or else my wife will keep making appointments with the tennis coach. I will not stand for the humiliation and mockery at the country club.

Literally this, my manager is a petite bourgeoisie hack who constantly bemoans about his tennis club fees going up ten dollars.
Meanwhile he's enthusiastically slashed my wages down to the bone, so hard im living hand and mouth and having to beg to mutual aid and food banks.
I am probably one (maybe two) bad paychecks away from being houseless.
