Yeah, if you’re a single man who doesn’t have anyone to take care of and has no physical or mental health problems $150k is great. If you’re part of a house with two incomes you’re probably OK

Why would it matter how many people it takes to make the 150k?

If you’re making $150k and someone else is making another amount of money…

@SCB@lemmy.world · 10 months ago

Then your family isn’t making 150k and you’re not part of this discussion.

Also if you’re making more than 150k and can’t pay your bills, I have 0 sympathy for you.

It must feel good to feel superior to all these people who are struggling. I bet that makes you feel really smart and capable.

You wanna stop lashing out and make an actual point?
