200k per year isn’t enough anymore srs

[AWSbruh]

200k per year is barely 150k after taxes. This doesn’t include health coverage and 401k. You can barely qualify for a 600k house in non flyover state. Most owners right now wouldn’t even qualify for the hose that they’re currently in. Market won’t ever go down. It’s just gona go up. Brutal, it’s over srs

[Lefticle]

Huge if true

[r0undNr0und]

live within your means

i get welfare and still have a roof over my head, internet, food in the fridge and i only make like 14k a year.

[Duckliver]

I agree with the first sentence

But I own house outright so don’t really care about the rest


On the bright side they might say fukkit and go for broke with hyper inflation soon

[tripod29]

I mean it's not, but it's a good starting salary when you're just starting out. You can make it work by adjusting how you live. This will only be temporary though until you gain some experience. Once you understand your careers field more, the salary will increase to something more reasonable. Cheers.

[Titansfan08]

Yep I'd agree especially if you have kids. Luckily I live in a flyover state

Biden's America at it's finest

[Destor]

I have $1.6m in property based on like $230k income from 2021

Ya’ll doing something wrong

[Nonsense916]

I agree. Last week I had sushi and it was $150 wtf

My gf even had the audacity to argue with me afterwards

[Polaris]

Never go full retard. Hyperinflation is 50% inflation every month.

Not out of the question in Biden's America.

[SaviorSelfJT]

Depends where you live and what part of life your in

If you live in a major metro and looking to buy a home and start a family. 200 is peanuts

that's impressive i'm mirin

[BuckNakedinBama]

Can confirm. Try to save around 50k a year to have a decent retirement. Doubled that goal last year, but it's tough. So many people, including most of my employees (50 or so), save NOTHING for retirement. **** is wild. I don't know what some people making like 50k are thinking - live at the absolute edge of their means and save nothing. Blows my mind. Meanwhile I'm nervous to "only" have 250k invested for retirement in my 30s.

The real blackpill is this:

Its never enough......

They aren’t letting the collapse occur so I don’t see how they will avoid it when they turn the printer back on.

[katya422]

IDK about all of that but housing prices in most places are stupid.

Watched a bit of real estate related videos this morning. Ranch style patio home, adobe w/clay tile roof around Palm Spring IIRC and they are starting at $600K for about 2,000 square feet. No land to speak of...front yard just deed enough to park one car in the driveway and maybe 10 feet between the houses.

[MikeLowrrrey]

Retard logic.

I'd be balling HARD on $200k.

$100k in 2000 is worth $169k now. So you're effectivity beating inflation by a lot.

[BeanGainClovis]

I am happy on about 30k or less

I can make do with less and find my peace of mind

Hunters out here make like 125k to 150k

That's too much money for me honestly

Would feel bad about having so much while others have so little

Especially my brothers and sisters in Christ from my ghetto

So if I end up with too much money I just give it away

It's a loan you make to God and He repays it

It's shameful to not keep my charity a secret

But I just want to dispense some wisdom

Your mind is being ruled by money bro

[BeanGainClovis]

The real blackpill is this:

Its never enough......

Yeah that's the "blackpill" on materialism

Only love can satisfy, and materialism and spirituality are at odds

If you think the answer to happiness is money, you will always be miserable

[BeanGainClovis]

Hunters out here make like 125k to 150k

They "only" make six figures yet they spend all day outdoors shooting guns and using advanced weaponry

It's a damn good time really, sure beats being chained to a desk and putting up with corporate bullchit

I know what that's like and honestly it really sucks, feels soul-draining and meaningless

But it's comfortable for sure

[crupiea]

What really matters is how much you spend each month.

No one needs to eat out all the time or drink starbucks or drive a new car. Those are all luxuries and should be treated as such. Treats for a once in a while thing.

Where you live of course makes a difference. Again, none needs to live right downtown in the most expensive building, thats why suburbs exist.

It’s like this in every metro now

We’ve been robbed so fuking hard since like 2016. I remember working back then and buying a house in my metro was attainable on even a mediocre salary. Now you have to be a fuking doctor to afford a chitty 80 year old townhome outside of the city

Yea this is no secret, houses have become unattainable to the middle class. One might argue there is no real middle class anymore. Just rich and poor.

Try raising 12 kids in a chicken shack with a dirt floor in puerto rico after your husband leaves you for a younger woman and report back to me on how that feels vs how the young woman shown feels. You may find that the young woman in the picture is about a thousand times happier - especially since her boss can't beat her with a mop handle. My great grand mother shot herself for a reason. You fukks go on about how great brats are, how women are soooo saad due to feminism. Meanwhile I'm jerking off with with beers in the fridge and whiskey in the cupboard thinking about how fukking lucky I am that I don't have to get my throat reamed. you fukkin idiots need a reality check.

[N0stradamus]

OP is to be saluted for speaking this brutal truth.


Boyos, if you aren't making at least $160K/year (which is still poverty level) then STOP working so damn hard at your job. Stop losing sleep over it, stop stressing over it, stop getting involved in bullsh/t office politics. It just isn't worth it.

Just do the bare minimum and fly below the radar.


F/ck Biden's economy....

[Godfrd824]

If you can't make even $100k work as a single person, you may be retarded. I bought my first house in 2016 while making $12/h.

[ThatGuy950]

So GMiscer was right to NEETmog us all this time?

Brutal

[BrightThru2014]

That's why you get married to another high earner bruh.

[Griggz]

Don't you guys get it? Money will soon be worthless. Build gardens. Get chickens.

[Dave22reborn]

If you guys can't live comfortably on 150k after taxes, then you're terrible with money.

[BigGuyTruth]

Most people won't ever own a half decent home in a good place if they don't have one already, or will have to wait till they are 50-60 srs
