  • Exactly. It’s not a clear black and white issue and there are no easy solutions

    It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt. – John Philpot Curran

    Fook that’s a lot of money. I was married with kids making $15/hr and we were fine. It’s about getting good deals, having no debt, driving old cars you fix yourself, and not blowing money on frivalous crap like Starbucks, food delivery, and endless subscriptions to modern bullshit like media services. You kids waste so much these days expecting to be able to spend nickles and dimes everywhere (screw these new business models that bleed you dry with constant payments).

    If you can’t live on $50k/yr something is wrong with the choices you’re making.
