Is a home not under the constant annual threat of becoming unaffordable (I’m talking about renting, since you since seem to have reading comprehension difficulties) “too much” for someone to expect to achieve?
I know I’m probably feeding the troll here, but how is someone “entitled to live in an expensive area”? Like sure he could probably move to a cheaper city… but then they won’t have the same jobs getting the same salary. They are likely only making that much because of the area they currently live in. Sure there might be some variation from block to block or subdivision to subdivision, but in many areas in the country that isn’t enough for even the cheapest housing in the metro area.
Not to mention, that’s both of them working full time jobs. 15+ yrs ago, one salary should have been enough for a house. Now if they ever have a kid, they have to take the cost of child care into account and that’s not cheap. This leads to some of the drop in fertility we see in many places. It’s simply not financially possible.
And I feel perfectly safe, cussing, the police officer up one side and down the other for some stupid shit he did.
A black person probably wouldn’t do that, because different people have different experiences based on their lives.
You may buy your beer at Costco, the question is also how much do you drink compared to? How much does he drink.
If he is having an $11 beer every four months and you’re buying a 24 pack every weekend that’s quality versus quantity, but could very well cost the same at the end of the year
You both attacked the wrong person by replying to the wrong comment and violated our civility rule (more than once). Please do not do so again. Also, please do not abuse the flagging system.
Jesus wept, if I earned HALF that I’d be very comfortable for the rest of my life. That’s an insane income.
Imagine earning almost two hundred grand a year as a family and then suggesting it’s a struggle. That’s wild.
I mean sure, if you live in a gated wealthy community and only buy the finest things, and have very high wealthy standards, then I imagine that would seem like pocket change.
But 14,500 dollaroos a MONTH? That’s enough to support multiple families. That’s equivalent to SIX adults working a full time minimum wage job. SIX!
Imagine being two people, bringing in the wage of six people, and suggesting it’s a tough life. I would kill to be in that highly privileged position haha.
I got like $60k a year as a programmer, and spun up my own company after a year of that. Like, how are you not able to save for a house / pay off a mortgage on 175k a year.
If $175k/year isn’t enough for you, you are part of the problem.
So many people work harder for so much less, but you think you deserve more before them.
Just like how people richer than you operate.
Enough for what? They clearly stated that home ownership is out of reach for them.
Rest of their comparison is about things now vs things 10 years back and how it’s worse for someone in their teens and 20s.
Learn to read.
Enough to stop you from complaining you don’t have enough.
Their comparison is irrelevant.
You’re just upset I’m criticizing people with too much wealth.
No. I’m annoyed because you can’t read.
Lol, ok.

Relative to the world, they are very wealthy.
They just think they’re entitled to live in expensive areas.
It’s called “passing a bunch of money around at the top.”

The difference in wages is not enough to make up for how much more expensive it is to live in a major city.
It’s why people are actually able to own their homes outside of major cities.
Okay, professor. What is the exact maximum people are allowed to earn and exist in high expense areas?
You think earning less than 100k is in the top earning block lmao.
They shouldn’t let people this dumb comment.
How about instead of tearing down something, you post something of substance.
How much do you earn? What do you do? How much is your rent?
And what is the maximum amount people are allowed to earn before they can criticize expensive living

What?
.
They shouldn’t have to though.
Not acknowledging that is just making the problem worse.
People should work to live not live to work, and if you can’t afford a little entertainment than you aren’t living you are barely surviving.
But there are people out there who would take what little stress relief you can get and tell you to just tighten up your belt.
You do realize that phrase comes from people having to take their food money and spend it on other necessities right?
You have to tighten your belt because you can’t even afford full meals.

That all depends on where you live
He’s complaining that his standard of living has decreased…

I struggled at $15 an hour living in a low cost area.
When rent is $2k a month, plus food and utilities, that money goes quiiiick
