>If you earn more than $100,000 per year you're earning more than 95% of Americans
Feels weird. Americans are really high median per Capita income too. That's not even that much money how do people survive

Most people have literally zero savings. Every dollar that comes in on payday goes out the same week. There are levels of realizing you're poor. one when you have to skip meals or your lights get shut off because you let the bill go a week too late. One when you're fed but you have nothing left to blow money on stuff to have fun. One when you've managed to save up here and there over years and it's all wiped out in an instant due to some accident. One when you start putting away 1k a month and find out just how long it can take to get any kind of comfort. One when you hit six figures and realize it's still fucking nothing. Not everybody starts at any of these or reaches all of them but I'm sure basically everyone has hit at least one. It's because everyone isn't gonna make it, the dream is dead, the easy money is dead. You're not going to walk straight up to the boss with a firm handshake and buy a house and support a family on one income. That the good days were just a glitch in the matrix, a preview of a time many years away in the future, accidentally released early, a euphoria bubble that popped, and now back to reality of slow gains over lifetimes not within them

Started making 6 figs at 23 and I'm 27 now. It feels weird and I feel this strange sense of guilt and imposter syndrome because every man in my family before me was in blue collar work and never came close to what I'm making. It all feels unearned desu.

Low cost of living in most of the country. I make $40/hr but don't need to work full time because it is plenty of money for everything I want plus savings. Usually make somewhere in the $50ks where full time would be $83k

There's only so much knowing math and investing can do for you if your problem is you just don't make enough money, and in the good old days our wages relatively speaking were 3-4x higher than they are now

I've made 300k in the last year just by staking. The initial investment was the money from my wages (part time mcdonalds) but that was only during the first six months or so, once i staked enough i basically made enough from the apy alone to resemble a wage (switched to loveloot, i used to stake in symbiosis at the time, dunno if its still that good) per month. I literally don't know how normies survive

I am at 400k, making partner next year, will go closer to 1 mill. Still don’t feel rich, am in cash, will go all into crypto to make real money.
