I had to take this job for $50k because I've been looking for a career in my field for years now, and holy fuck post tax paycheck of a $50k salary is legitimately unlivable. I'm also $20k below my state's average for my job

what career is that

>> No.56026142

In a post COVID stimulus world, the minimum living wage is 100k. You need to make $150k for any comforts and $200k to afford to buy a house, probably $250k to afford a wife and family.

Tax is theft, and the sooner people realize this, the better. That’s why I even gamble in a decentralized manner rn, at least through xfun my winnings are safe

the pandemic was the worst time of my life, I lost everything
friends, family, money, work
I was able to recover a little with the cryptos, but I'm still struggling with duck race to get to the same point
