Yes. I don’t make 400k but my household makes around 250k from wagecucking and small business. Rent is 2.5k and then the rest goes into utility for home and business, insurances, the basics and taxes and in the end we can only vacation 2-4 weekends a year.
That’s weekends. We can’t even take off entire weeks.

with 250k income you pay 112k in theft/TAXES. With 138k left, subtract tithe and charity = 125k / 12 months = 10.k/month. say 3k for living expenses. saving 7k/month x 12 months = 84k/ year savings.
Do that for 30 years and retire with 2.5million (maybe 10m depending on markets) - but lets assume markets fuck your butt. 2.5 million - that's just enough to end up beaten by niggers in a retirement home when you're 90.

Invest in your family and children, not in another man's corporate profits.
Because at 250k, you're still poor.

Between my wife and I, we bring in around 200k. We do not take any kind of big vacations, don't have really nice cars (a 2018 and paid for 2009), live in a moderate house. We also have 3 kids. To have a good lifestyle, I need to make about 400k. That would give me more options but no where near wealthy.

I am right there with you. I have 3 kids and money goes fast. We don't have much debt, house is paid down but we can not afford to take any kind of big vacations (overseas). Just barely comfortable at $200k/yr. I would not consider 400k wealthy but would give way more options and a bump in lifestyle.

Yes it is, imagine you're some corporate lawyer or IB dude in NYC. These people have built a life supporting the spending habits of their trophy wives, a coke habit of their own and the secretary they fuck to get away from their family. Then they go deep into debt getting a place in the Hamptons or a super car just because their stupid wives want to keep up with the Jones's when they see someone making 1M a year with a place in the Hamptons. Im not saying they deserve pity but they have 7 figure net worth with the tastes of someone worth 9 figures.

>top marginal tax rate is 37% STARTING at 500k for SINGLES
>actual taxes on 250k is 24%, but only on money made after 171k
>112k taxes on 250k is 44.8%

Lets just assume they pay 25% on the whole 250k. Even if they payed the max amount with no deduction it would still be 62.5k. Even at 1k a month in insurance and state taxes that still only takes you to 85k in taxes / insurance.

>tithe and charity

If you pay tithe, fine. Anyone giving to charity when they don't have a fully completed savings/nestegg/investment portfolio is acting fucking stupid.


Lets recap
>250k/yr
>85k taxes insurance (33% of income)
>60k/yr rent
>50k/yr other living expenses

This is all assuming the actual worst possible scenario in which a person is totally fucking retarded. And this person would still have 55k/yr to save and fuck around with. After 5 years they would have an investment portfolio or bags to hold that would be 100% of 1 years income. After 10 years they could be nearing retirement.

People who make more than 100k/yr and don't live in the DEAD CENTER of either San Fran or New York are RICH.

THEY ARE FUCKING RICH. And the only way for them to not be rich is to totally squander ever fucking cent they make. And then bitch about it because cognitive dissonance.
