100K and up is a lot of money.
I have family living with me that also
make some pretty nice salaries (50k & 60k).
So I'm unique in that I'm living in a househould clearing over 200K
combined.
I live very, very comfortably but I do feel I'd do okay if the money coming in was halved
but I'd also have to give up some things to do so.

This beyond sad... If your able to make 100k and can't live something is seriously wrong with YOUR spending habits...I'm sorry... I can't fathom how you make 100k after taxes and still struggling...
You say that breh but then you start to acquire nicer shyt, that nicer shyt you wanna keep safe so you move to a more affluent area, you start eating healthier and taking care of yourself. That shyt adds up quick, especially if you got student loans.
It’s not so much about living outside your means it’s more about experience and expectations. I’m 6 figures and 6 certs, and I throw a good deal into my 401K, buy wagyu & do 2 intl trips a year but I’ll be damn if I ever go back to this.
It's easy how this can happen

all facts. add in the opportunity to buy the likes of NIKE, AAPL, etc. at $1/share in the 80s and early 90s. Trying to compare today's playing field to 40 years ago just sounds like a joke.

This is the average monthly bills for somebody living in Los Angeles
Rent = $2,786
Utilities = $100
Food = $500
Car Payment = $700
Car Insurance = $250
Phone = $114
Cable/Internet = $120
Student Loans = $230
Total = $4,800
Okay you make $100K a year. Let's say your take home is somewhere around $75K. That would be $6,250 a month
After your bills, you are left with $1,450
You mean to tell me you can't make $1400+ a month work after all your bills are paid?
What else are you spending on?
The thing is a lot of these expenses can be reduced, it's just people are not willing to downgrade their lifestyles because we as Americans feel entitled to a certain way of living. Somebody laughed at me suggesting a 700 sqft apartment. "OH THE HUMANITY! How could I survive in a 700 sqft apartment???"
I know plenty of people personally who complain about the cost of living, but refuse to move out of their high rise apartment. A co-worker of mine complained about the cost to just maintain his car, but was driving a current year BMW. Like come on! I'm not saying that wages are great and are more than enough, but we gotta stop ignoring the ignorance of Americans. A lot of us college educated folks are living way above our means and a lot of people make poor decisions when it comes to money management. Again, 60% of Americans don't have more than $500 in their savings. Everybody has things they don't need and can reduce or cut out completely.
How are you living paycheck to pay check making $100K and there are people making $60K living comfortably? Make it make sense. Make more money, you are just going to spend more money.

100k is closer to 60k take home in California. And what a lot of those budgets aren't accounting for is living, and alcohol. A a lot of young and getting less young 30 something drink a lot and go out a lot. That's a $ few hundred a week, easy. Because you have to account for WHERE they go, and what kind of places they frequent.

they say people byke in the day were way more willing to move for purely economic reasons
all my ancestors moved from the south to cold azz chicago, honkys went west to the desolate prairies, shyt mexicans will move to buttfukk idaho for the bag
all that being said, i live somewhere were 100K can be lived on easily…but most don’t have the heart to voluntarily live such an austere (compared to NYC DC HTX etc) lifestyle. nikkaz want it both ways but you gotta pay the piper one way or the other. its gonna be a tradeoff no matter what path you choose, and check->check is just some folks choice
