Like ever? I feel like it’s almost guaranteed the more money the worse you become. I know this isn’t very dialectic but it’s true.

    That’s because where you live probably has a certain type of wealth breakdown, especially if it’s small town America (making assumptions sorry)

    I live in the most expensive city in my country, its more just the average wage is 20k and the average rent is 1k+ a month, in these circumstances making 120k a year (especially when housing is about avg 80-150k) puts you at a massive advantage; by my metrics they are wealthy as they make 5-6x my salary.

        It’s really not though lol 120K on either of the coasts is enough to be comfortable and get by, but it’s nowhere enough to be living like a king.

          Its a hyper annoying conversation to have online because everyone apparently lives off 5 dollars a day somewhere in eastern europe. Or, online spaces skew young so you're talking to an american teenager who has never thought about stuff like childcare, you know?
