300k a year is the new "I make six figures"

[Anonymous No.11139768]

>tfw you realize that 300k income is the new 100k, 3 million net worth is the new 1 million

The six figure salary meme has been around a few decades probably since at least 1980. Back then to make at least 100k a year you had to have been a doctor or high powered lawyer. Most college grads were making low to mid 20k's back then, a senior engineer or accountant might make 60k. A house cost 100k or so.

Six figures in the 80's was an aspirational amount, but today it's the bare minimum to be considered middle class. A 100-200k income isn't out of the ordinary at all, you wouldn't even be part of the six figure club if you were born 20 years earlier.

Such a black pill

Yep.

Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, $100k is not a lot of money anymore.

I live with my GF and we both drive used Honda's. Together our household income is $100k and it feels like we are fucking broke. If we're lucky we'll take one vacation this year.

To be in the top 5% in 1980 you only needed to make 50k. Now you need to make 237k. 100k would have made you a baller in the early 80’s. Now it’s nothing

It's not ">black pill" to understand simple economics.
The inflation rate is following the same for average income. The average doesn't change. Wealth is still exactly the same. The only way to change the wealth is to kill off everybody under the average and that increase the average.

It's simple math.

[Anonymous No.11142264]

For the average 4chan user, none of this is important at all.
Demographic data of incomes relates those incomes to entire households; that means it includes on average a wife and kids.
Women and children are what the consumer economy depends upon, they are its life force (and the key to a miserable suburban middle class existence regardless of income). With those things eliminated a man can easily be well off with even the median US household income.

So for the typical 4chan robot, there's no reason to be in the top percentile of income for an entire household beyond dick waving.

Damn that's wild it's almost like we're losing the "purchasing power" of our dollars. That would be crazy like our money was being further "devalued" through a sort of "inflation" of the total supply. Extrapolate this over time and suddenly anon's only hope to ever escape this fucking clown world would be through a legendary bullrun caused by new technology but he only ended up making 200k at the peak and he held all the way down to avoid realizing taxes which would further confiscate his wealth and so now he's literally all in on a meme shitcoin he discovered while browsing a Bavarian Nazi sympathizer forum so he can finally escape from his soul crushing wage cage and regain some semblance of control over his destiny.

How is that cope? If I remember correctly, niggers in Boston have an average net worth of EIGHT FUCKING DOLLARS. Niggers don't want to work and can't work, of course they bring the median income down. Especially when you see that the number of niggers among millennials is much higher than in the general population in which it's 12%, since most white people are old now.

Not to mention, the beaners who are only here to clean our toilets and dig our ditches.
