Unpopular Opinion: There is no difference making $60k to making $100k a year

[Seoul Gleou]

i thought you'd make an argument based on marginal tax rates or lifestyle creep

what the fukk is this OP we should neg you

 

[MVike28]

I’ve heard it all

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

I made $83,000 last year off salary. I made $63,000 before this. The difference is when my daughter crashed her car at the start of the summer , I was like , it’s expected




If I made $100,000 I probably would have brought her and my son a new car after the accident.

Wow, you can go to a fancy restaurant 20 times a month instead of 3 times a month

Define fancy restaurant. You really think people who make $100,000 a year are spending $100 on fancy meals 20 times a month? So $2,000 of their after tax income? In addition to the first class flights that you apparently think people who make $60,000 are even taking?

Do you live in Nebraska or something similar?

During covid, I was making over 100k due to hazard pay. My income jumped 20-30k more during the pandemic. There's absolutely a difference between 60k and 100k.

 

[UpAndComing]

Are you qualified to make that judgement?

OP clearly has never made $100k....

You right, what do I know. I work double shift at Jack in the Box

For this disrespect, tomorrow at lunchtime rush hour, I'll overcook your french fries

 

[macadomusic]

Actually the 100 k puts you on a different tax situation which Sux

I didn't wanna be the one to say it

 

[Maximus Rex]

Trying to compare someone making $60k who is investing to someone who is making $100k and spending it frivolously

When all things are equal the person who is making $100k and doing what the person who is making $60k is investing and not spending it willy nilly your entire premise falls apart

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Umm what? This makes no sense breh lol...

Here let me help you out a bit....

If you make $100K in NYC and you make $60K in South Carolina... you could possibly have more financial freedom in South Carolina.

Exactly. Ordinary Income is the worst type of income when it comes to taxes

There is nothing better than Investment income

People in this thread are purposefully misrepresenting what was in the OP for daps. But I expected it

I already got promoted, you thought wrong. Now I'm washing lettuce, working fries, then the grill. In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in
