Any particular reason for this feeling?

>>53036333
hes not having sex

>>53036301
>>53036333
Because it’s true. I make the same amount. I am not rich. I look through indeed every day just to see if there’s any decent jobs where I could earn an extra 40-60k to get me to that $200k level

>>53036344
Sex nowadays is an almost inherently humiliating experience, made so by social policy instituted by TPTB, with the aim of making women's behavior intolerable. When having sex as a man, you are in a position of not only inferiority, but also great risk, see those sexual consent contracts and such.
He should count himself lucky he's not having sex.

>>53036362
What could you buy with $200K that you can't with $120K?

>>53036301
buy a hooker

>>53036388
An apartment with more then one room and maybe even a washer and dryer.

>>53036362
>>53036301
Christ where do you guys live? I make about 2/3 of that and feel extremely comfortable

>>53036426
A washing machine costs <$1K and a dryer costs around $500. Surely you can spare $1.2-1.5K.

>>53036458
Dumbass he means to afford rent not the god damn machines themselves.

>>53036479
That does make more sense than what I supposed, yeah.

>>53036301
>mfw I earn that in 1 year
3rd world bros...

>>53036479
>rent
Nobody making 6figs is struggling to make rent on a studio. He's got to be talking about condo ownership - and even then, unless he's trying to live on the top of the Empire State Building itself he should be able to afford a modest 1bd1ba unit at minimum.
More likely, he's a lying faggot and this is a demoralization thread.
>>53036373
Yup. Confirmed. Stop filling these zoomies' heads full of doomer nonsense.

>>53036301
It makes sense when you account for inflation. making 12k per month today is the equivalent of making 9682.58 in 2016 was when you account for inflation in food, energy and housing costs. Depending on which housing market you are looking at it can be even less. That number i just calculated is based on the national average.

>>53036580
In my city sheds and trailers rent for 2800 a month. the idea of buying a condo is just laughable. I rent a studio for 3k with a parking space included. so i am honestly paying way below market rate with that considered.

>>53036388
Idk man I’m just really fucking bored and I’m in my mid thirties and don’t have friends anymore because after a certain point everyone just goes their own way.
The illusion of productivity is more appealing and comforting than the harsh reality of isolation and loneliness

Outside of Boston

>>53036627
Wow so you definitely don't live near blacks. Jelly.

>>53036535
I live in a 3rd world country and earn 58k usd annually. Despite that, I'm still poor and feels like I live in the slums.

My expenses for the whole year is $12k. Fuck you man

>>53036344
>>53036373
I have a gf, together 4 years. We don't have sex. Everything else is great. I think it's over. :'(

>>53036767
>EVERYTHING ELSE IS GREAT
>its been over buddy

>>53036301
Where is your money going?

>>53036810
Would be good to know where I fucked up which led to this. Don't know what I did.

>>53036344
>>53036398
let's put the gay incel shit out of this thread, I thought I wanted sex went learned pickup on my own and fucked around 40 8/10+ chicks, it's not that

>>53036333
I just feel empty and knowing I can't at any moment just travel to some shit hole without worrying in someway about my financials (I'd assume at least 5 years without worrying would make me calm in someway, not like I'd ever do something retarded like that)

>>53036580
This is not a demoralizing thread, I'm talking about my own situation, I live in Israel (let the jew jokes flow) and I used to live on my own but now I reside with my parents cause I want my fucking money and there are no real benefits atm unless my parents become toxic, which they are not.

>>53036599
sounds about right, I'm minimally invested in index funds so idc about that, I'm trading on the side but comfy on that account

>>53036660
word

>>53036767
yes it's over, long ago

>>53036847
it's not going anywhere, I'm saving and investing either in my own endeavors (education, business leads, trading) but mostly saving for a good oppurtunity to invest which is not the next 6 months most likely

>>53037214
take the red pill without the incel toxicity, you'll realize it quick enough. Read the rational male and never be mad at women, they are animals just like the rest of us, perfect women is a myth created by man

How the fuck almost everyone on this board makes so much money?

my rent is literally $120 a month
you are all retarded consumers

>>53037336
Mine is 2100 for a 1 bedroom

>>53037334
I'm a software engineer (self taught) with 5 years of experience who helps business makes their products real, some are larping but my situation is absolutely achieveable if you are not fucking retarded

How would you get in software engineering if you had to Start over?

>>53038095
