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

[Umoja]

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

It works in layers though.

To be frank, I'm realising how stupid some of you are. You really have idiots in here trying to explain why there isn't practical difference between earning 60k and 100k.

If you make more, you can contribute more to things like 401k which.... wait for it.... Reduces the amount you are taxed on.

There's about a 40k difference.

I put more money away in retirement when I hit 100k

Not everything got to be so damn black and white

100k is more than 60k. Its unfortunately that black and white.

I've made that jump, been back down and made that jump again.

There ain't no different. But I'm sure it depends on your life and lifestyle.

Dead ass.

Living within your means at any level is the most important thing, but whether or not you have the ability to buy useless things or invest at either level isn't the larger capitalist point. The difference lies in how much of a worthwhile debt risk you're seen as, to be "trusted" with credit either buy useless things or invest. Apply for the same loan under different names, list the different incomes and see the responses you get.

How you leverage debt, how you manage risk, how you live within your means matters. All that other garbage is just distraction.







And it's a very good idea to not let yourself be trapped in that because-they-said-I-can game either, and have other options.

Might be the WOAT thread of 2024 so far. .

I do agree somewhat. After tax, it’s maybe two grand more a month. While that’s a lot of extra money to save, it’s not changing your life. Ask a nikka making $100,000 if making $140,000 instead is going to change his life. I bet he says nah. I was reading about Tim Walz today. He was getting paid $116K one year then got $145K or near there a year or so later. I doubt much changed for him.

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

Anyone who is dumb enough to make the statements you made in your OP is incapable of earning $100k.....
