Over half of Americans claim they're nowhere near achieving their definition of financial freedom, with 36% saying they have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts.

      I can be more flexible with my diet, can afford to vacation, I can put some money into savings, and I can outright purchase larger consumer items without saving.

      These things are not negligible. I understand what you’re saying, “more money, more problems”, but being able to put money into a savings account and take a vacation are things that a large portion of people will never be able to do.

      I have worked since I was 12 yrs old, went to both college and university, and have never once made over $100k per year.

      Currently I’m on a fixed income, have limited job opportunities and recently had to downsize to a rooming house as I couldn’t afford my bachelor apartment anymore.

      Do not equate your hardships with those of us who are facing living on the streets with one missed cheque.

      The sheer audacity of saying you’re a wage slave at 6 figures almost made me upvote because it was so funny.

          This isn’t class warfare, this is obscene ignorance about slavery born of your immense wealth and privilege.

          Also I make 6 figures.

              I once made $9k in a year, and yet I am still wealthy now with my current 6 figure income.

                  I am literally in the top 10% of income in the US, which does indeed make me wealthy.
