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.

    I mean if you’re not American then it’s a different amount of money, functionally. If I get injured and spend your salary on a doctor’s visit Im not feeling very royal. You don’t have to call people delusional, congratulations on not living in hell country I guess. Happy for you, my dude.

      Uhhhh? I don’t live in the U.S. but I still live in hell, it’s hell nearly everywhere, most of my paycheck still goes to rent. 120k is still 120k, and whether it’s dollars, euros, or pounds, it’s still a ridiculous amount of money. Delusional is the only appropriate word for someone claiming that isn’t wealthy, I genuinely cannot fathom the thought.

        Part of the way some end up making that money is through college which can set you up with substantial debt. I know many people who get degrees also make significantly less than that and why I don’t think anyone making 120k could really say they’re “poor” but they could also be living paycheck to paycheck based on monthly rent, loans, and car/transportation in the wrong city
