    Thats insane to me how anyone could make over 200k and not feel rich. I feel super rich and between me and SO make like 180k. I still feel like I have it way too good.

    No kids tho. That helps. But really we can buy mostly anything we want and go on vacations. I own a few cars, all over 15 years old, fix em myself. That saves car payments. House is 50 years old and has old appliances and stuff that we have to fix on it often.

    What we dont have that I know other people in my life do (probably the ones who think they’re “poor”),

    4 wheelers/side by side by sides

    A huge shop

    A huge camper

    Big bro trucks that were 80k new

    A vacation home

    2 week long trips to resorts

    Snowmobiles

    Boats

    That shit adds up. Ive never gave a fuck about keeping up with the Joneses. I havent bought clothes in over 10 years. Ive maybe bought new clothes less than 5 times ever in my life. Besides shoes.

    All this said, fuck rich people. Everyone deserves to live. There’s hundreds of thousands of empty heated buildings just sitting there empty that folks could at least live in to not freeze.

    The issue in america is people think "the left " wants to take all your money. Yeah we dont care about the piddly shit. We want to tax the fucking billionaires. Drump is the one raising taxes on the poor. But Americans are idiots.

      Their wants exeed their income. It’s that simple.

      I’m content with a 20K Honda Civic, they want a 100K car.

      And frankly, a lot of ‘poor’ people in america… they are poor simple because they are spending way more than they can afford. Tons of 200K income people are driving 100K cars and think a 50K car is ‘below’ them.

        Yikes. Yeah that’s definitely an issue.

        I don’t get it. The more money I get the more I enjoy donating it. Seriously, the rich are mentally ill.
