| Random Canadian said: You appear to have no fucking clue what the world is like outside your little bubble so let me paint a not so nice picture for you. Me, 24 at the time making 80k/yr, At the low end of the income scale for the Small Town <- I live in. Now where I come from that would be the top say 15 20% ish that make that and average income would be about 50k and half the cost of living. Its not about organic food or starbucks its about the cost of living where you live, period. |
Nope. Assuming that you aren't a single father of two, you're doing something insanely wrong if you can't make ends meet making $80K a year. Anyone on this site struggling at $80k is probably one of those people you see in, "What games are you buying this month?" threads and they list like 20 games for their day one console purchase. Someone comments on the idea of spending $1200 on games in a month and they respond, "any working adult can easily afford that!"
... then they come in here saying it's impossible to live off $80k a year. I'd bet money that if you saw their checkbook you'd see they were living way out of wack and blowing money like crazy. There's a difference between you don't make ends me and you can't make ends meet.
