I make 60k a year and literally have everything I could ever want, yet I hear people who make 100k-200k+ and seem to live paycheck to paycheck.

The only thing I can think is they either own an overpriced cuckshed in a big city, they buy stupidly overpriced clothes on a regular basis, they buy the newest overpriced bullshit luxury SUV every year, or they go out to the most expensive goyslop restaurants multiple times a week. What else even is there to even waste so much money on?

I buy a TON of shit on Amazon that I don't even remember buying. It's a little surprise for me when a package arrives because I forgot about buying it! I never feel lonely because of all these gifts constantly arriving. I love consuming.

children are not expensive, status signaling your children in front of other parents is expensive

Your mother is not expensive.

Kids cost a bunch because you need a more stable environment if you want to bring them up right.

This is it.

Without the desire for women, men would be okay sleeping in mud huts, eating meat, and sleeping.

Seems to be a skill issue when it comes to money management and knowing the worth of their dollar.

Kids aren't 100k+ expensive, but most women are definitely susceptible to lifestyle inflation.

>> No.55473232

Expensive hobbies, constant house renovations, constant landscaping work, constant new top spec cars.
Live down the road from a guy that has had different contractors parked on his driveway 200 days a year, for 5 years, this is despite having the most beautiful and extravagant house for miles to begin with.

You answered your own question OP.

I make around the same amount you do. I have a new Toyota Corolla, live in a 2 bedroom apartment, wear fairly nice clothes and still go out to eat when I feel like it. And I still have a shit-ton of leftover money to keep for emergency situations, invest, vacation/travel, etc.

These people are just retarded with their money. My boss makes like $90k a year, but he drives around in brand new $80k Lexus and probably owns a $350k house, plus he has a wife and 2 kids. He also maxed out 3 different credit cards.

Yes.
I am 37 and don't care about women at all any more. I have no interest in pursuing them, keeping them around, or dealing with the aftermath when they inevitably fuck off.
I live very comfortably on an average wage.

>children are not expensive
ya technically not that expensive. The thing people care more about others than they do themselves. I could live in a 1bed room apt with a mattress on the floor. Do I want that for my kids and wife tho? I want the nice minivan for them. I want them to have their own rooms. I want them to be around other wealthy people so their friends aren't shitty. I want my wife to feel safe when she goes to the park with the kids. When I was single I got robbed at gun point and kept living in the area for years. I can put up with a lot and live in shit. I want so much more than I ever did before having a family. Easy to be sardonic nihilist when its just your life at stake. Start taking responsbility for other people's lives and your tune will change. Its weird, have kids and suddenly you don't want the world to explode tomorrow. Not that it cures depression, its just really selfish to want the world to burn with your children in it. I stopped thinking oh fuck it I'll just kill myself constantly once I had kids. Not because they filled me with joy, but because how the fuck could I even consider that now as an option?

My housing is 2500 a month for a 3br townhome including maintenance tax all that shit
My food is 600-700 a month including eating out sometimes with my gf and buying alcohol where I pay for everything because she’s very low paid at her shitty job
My car insurance, registration, fuel, and car property tax, plus regular maintenance broken down every month is $350
Utilities are $350 too

Now we’re already at $4000 a month in shit I have to budget for. Now add another 1500-2000 for hobbies, random purchases, and vacations. Good thing I make 16k a month post tax so I can actually save 10 grand a month.

I don’t even have kids yet either. And my house isn’t that big or fancy looking. I live 40 min away from a major city, if I lived 15 min away from the city then my house would be 2x the current price
