A 2 bedroom apartment is like $2,000+ a month even in third tier cities now - those new shitbox ones are probably $3,500.
Groceries are atleast 50% more expensive.
A car is probably 100% more expensive factoring in interest rates
Any type of insurance is up 50-70%
A mid tier dinner for 2 that used to be $40 is now like $90. |

Sometimes go out on a walking trail. Still go to the gym. I'll watch YouTube videos of food I want to eat while eating my rice and beans and imagine I'm eating that fancy food. Go to free events I find on MeetUp or Eventbrite. I'll go to stores and try on clothes for fun and then not buy anything. Oh well, when you've done your best and your best isn't good enough, what can you do? |

With the current COL, it would have been soul-crushing. In fact, it was even when everything was much cheaper. But it's also much easier to get a job now and there are a lot of menial jobs that pay well. These people probably consider themselves "above" jobs that they could get that pay more than they are earning.

Date: September 6th, 2024 6:20 AM Author: Pearly Pit It’s not looking down on them, other than literally because Height and Income are inexorably linked. It’s documenting the damage Jews have done + marveling at how shit our society is. And yes while doing so we have fun, similar to a doodikoff thread, laughing at the ignominy. People like this who are poor, earnest, and many probably educated are living in ignominy while there’s a competency crisis and finding someone who can do anything is like finding a needle in a haystack. It’s not that it’s beneath them, it’s that showing them a wiring diagram would give them anxiety. We’ve way, way overproduced Losers (Low income educated libs) with the college scam. This is a skewed concentration of them, granted, but it’s a fact irl |

Why does it seem like every person on Reddit makes 100k - 500k? (self.povertyfinance)
submitted 55 minutes ago * by Sad-Garbage-3444
Almost every subreddit there’s a bunch of people saying that make X amount of money, or they came from extreme poverty and now making a huge amount of money. While every time I step out of the house it seems like most people are just struggling to survive working multiple jobs to feed their families. Hell, I went from minimum wage to 80k after 10 years of being out of college, but nothing like Reddit posts: “After living in poverty now I’m making over 500k a year, own several properties, yada yada yada…”
Now the question is, wtf are we doing wrong? 🤔 |
