The game is rigged. 100k is still not enough, and that is crazy.

Tell people you're not 6F6C yet, brehs. Announce to the world, you think with noodle. Ramen, brehs. Let the Coli know that your idea of eating well is to feed everyone else, brehs.

Nah you fasho gotta budget otherwise you're just wasting money somewhere and not letting it work for you. Like breh is saving 24k a year which is cool and all but if he's not saving for a down payment and already has 3-6 months income saved up he could be taking advantage of market returns or other investments.If you can max out your 401k, save 24k a year and invest 500 a month you don’t have a budget
I don't understand the struggle by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know if you're filtered out with kids..if you have a leech sucking your pockets dry...whats the beef here?

I'm not sure what this post means but if you're implying that I'm broke, well breh that's just adorable.
Ask around about me if you want.
Don't if you don't.

On another note I don’t understand how folks with big salaries don’t save their money. In my situation it would be super easy to.
OP..
When people talk about someone making 100K per year, they are only focusing on the gross, not the net. There is a difference between what you make and what you take home.
Some of us live in a high cost of living state where the state taxes are high along with property tax. Some have one or more mortgages, contribute towards their 401K, IRA, SS, SDI, not to mention have to pay for uncontrollable expenses like utilities, food, insurance, etc. Then factor in car notes and other miscellaneous expenses. I didn't mention those who have to pay both federal and state taxes that come out of their paychecks before the person gets paid.
It is expensive to live a modest/decent lifestyle. For those who can afford it, they are indeed blessed.
It's cool to make 6 figures and it also makes life a lil easier, but it is also no joke. Creep up in pay and find yourself in a higher tax bracket.
Everything costs! There is no such thing as a free ride. If you put in the work in order to sustain the type of lifestyle you sought, then kudos to ya! You deserve all the fruits of your labor!

I agree but my point is people have to budget for necessities. He is budgeting to put as much aside for his future as possible which is as much as some people make in a year. Financially he’s in a great place
It's easy to spend when you have more. If you go from making 40K to 120K, you can go out to eat more often, you can spend a little bit more on that vacation, you can spend more on your vice of choice(smoke/drink/gambling).
Things can get out of hand quickly. Living like you make 40K when you make six figs... that's the discipline.

Lol these humble brag threads with fake concern “how are you surviving on less than 100k” like every cities cost of living is the same..
and then crying about saving 24k a year is how I know you trying to troll and flex I feel you though the internet is the best place for a confidence boost
It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen
Not to mention those "high prices" are only in the immediate city proper. The metro area and outskirts of a city are like 50% cheaper, but no one wants to live there
Added to the fact that there's only maybe 10 cities that are considered high price areas. Alot of cities you can feel rich with 70k a year
