I make almost $200k in metro Atlanta. I can't imagine making a third of that and not being able to invest heavily so I can retire before age 40 if I want. How the fuck do normies cope??

Because our parents are wonderful people that let us live at home, and because we realize that the boomers are trying to rugpull the economy there’s no point in saving so we spend all the money we have living the life now while the economy and society still functions.

It’s all going to collapse at some point, might as well enjoy the Starbucks and pizza and not pay rent before the topsoil is all depleted and the oil is gone and the EU is collapsing ect ect

i make $100k outside of philly. i feel like i'm barely middle class, especially when you consider a non-niggerlicious starter house is like $350k. comfort starts at like $135k. true middle class at $150k.

I ask this question all the time.
The answer l, basically, is everyone is broke or going broke in realtime.
Credit card debt has hit new all time highs every single month since oct22 after years of tracking downward.
Savings rate has now also dropped to lowest ever recorded.
Thats the answer, almost everyone is completely fucked right now, the only reason it hasnt totally failed yet is because mass layoffs havent hit.

I lived in a medium sized place on $55k. Supported my spouse and I for about 2 years. It was fine. We saved maybe $150/month only. No travel or new cars or anything. It was a tight time, but we survived. Rent was $1100 for a nice 2 bedroom in a nice area.

Idk anon, I was there a few years ago and it was so demoralizing I was starting to feel suicidal. I make $150k now and I feel like I can have all my bases covered but after bills, savings, and 401k, I have literally nothing left. I guess it's not all bad, but I feel like I won't be able to have my bases covered AND actual enjoy life.

You don't make 200k. It's literally impossible for every faggot on 4chan to be making 200k, when most people consider 100k to be good. Just shut the fuck up and stop wasting my time with these stupid ass threads.

i work in corporate accounting at a very, very large company. outside of tech or sales, $200k isn't common unless you're in a director level role. my boss is a senior manager with 15 years experience and he might make $150-175k after bonus.

consultants at deloitte aren't accountants. i worked at EY in audit. senior manager (8+ years exp) at big 4 audit is $150-175k. you aren't hitting $200k unless you're a director or unless you're one of those hardcore senior manager nerds in a specialty line of service (obscure areas of tax.)

by getting involved in investing we've given ourselves wallet dysmorphia. normies dont think about the levels of wealth above them like we do, as long as they can contribute to their 401k and afford their lifestyle on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis they're "doing fine"

real life isn't like an RPG where you just grind XP until you level up. most retards can eventually get to manager but beyond that there's a ton of luck involved and you need a combination of soft skills, technical skills, managerial skills, and presentation skills. the director i work with most often has 5-6 senior managers reporting to him, and each of those senior managers oversees a team of 3-5 senior analysts. it's a ton of responsibility to say the least.

like i said, hitting $200k in non-tech careers involves a ton of work and luck. it's rare, and often the result of 15+ years of working hard and being very good at what you do.
