That's my current salary. I'm doing just fine with it. If I were completely single and didn't have a daughter, I'd be living like a king with that salary here in Memphis.

The system definitely doesn't favor the poor, but it is funny how many talk about struggle while smoking a pack of cigarettes and waiting on the last thing they drunkenly bought off Amazon. I live off the same and hold onto a house and all it's payments. At the same time, It doesn't help that literally everything guides people into consumerism based addiction and then blames them for not being good with money. But if you can avoid the allure, you really don't need a lot to live as a minimalist

Where do you live?

I didn't make much more than that for my first job, and I had more than a grand left over each month easily.

It certainly helps that I live in an apartment building specifically for people who are disabled or elderly.

I only pay $230 per month in rent, and even that is going down to $198 next month.

Making more isnt wasteful garbage or materialism. I have maybe 70 years on this life. Why would I not enjoy to the fullest? Why would I live in some dump apartment in the ghetto.

fuck no, I made about 102k last year. I have a nice house for all my animals and my wife. New vehicles, one fo enjoy the other to haul around animals, camping, off roading.

im gonna spend my money traveling, concerts, enjoying my life.

fuck that wow is me bs

Yeah. It definitely still heavily relies on circumstances and a bit of luck. I bet there's less noisey people there lol. I love my older neighbors. Respectful.
