>It doesn't matter what the average or median income is, it's all about where you live & how smart you are with money. If you make 65k in LA, NYC, Chicago, etc. you're broke as fuck while someone making 35k in a small midwestern town is living comfortably. You also wouldn't have to deal with drugs, crime, diversity, homeless, etc. So yeah, I'll take option 2 all day.Why do rural suburban losers always say this? It is like saying you couldn’t make it in a nice area and now you have to move to a crappier area. If that were true, why do wealthy people concentrate together in certain areas?
successful people get jobs in rich areas, I heard.even crazier, those jobs pay well. I know right?
>>62208127What are you saying? We are talking about the guy who made the quote and whether his opinion is retarded or not.
>>62208139nobody who lives in LA, NYC, or Chicago makes $65K, everyone who went to college makes at least $110-$150K unless that quote was from 1980 or something. this thread is gay. sage.
>>62208178Are you stupid?A ton of people living in those places can barely afford rent.
>>62208100>why do wealthy people concentrate together in certain areas?Greater fool theory
>>62208182That doesn't change the fact people make over 6 figures in major cities with degrees
>>62208379Not everyone. Maybe less than half. Big cities are playgrounds for the rich and everyone else is there to serve them.
>>62208379You don't live in the real world and it shows.
>>62208100The trick is to make enough money in a high cost of living area that you can move to a low cost of living area (not to be confused with a poor area) and live a better life. Work for a decade in a city to wagemaxx, live as far below your means as you can, and investmaxx so you don’t have to wage forever. For 99% of people this is the way out.
>>62208100>rural suburban losers
>>62208508>i am a loser who couldn’t hang with winners so I move into loser areaYeah, no
>>62208508This is Meta strategy I plan on following. >Live in NYC area. Right now, w/ parents. Stacking cash & investing.>Looking to retire in less than 15 years (around 35-40). >Move to beautiful low-cost area. Maybe Idaho. Maybe Japan.
>>62208595Sure sure, the places filled with big homes and families living what gets constantly shilled online as an unobtainable dream... THAT'S the place for losers.
>>62208687What?The unobtainable dream is a house in the city but with lots of space and away from noise and riff raff.
>>62208687What the fuck are you talking about?People that cannot afford good areas move away from cities. The farther away the cheaper the properties.
>>62208100>looks like a motivational thread>peek inside>demotivationalI'm here to tell you all, you can make it. You can be happy. You can retire early. You will find love. You will hang in there. As long as you're not Indian lol theyre fucked forever.
>>62208751Unfortunately, the average person is falling behind.
>>62208735Those cheap properties far from cities have some areas with pretty damn big houses surrounded by pretty damn good nature and pretty damn awesome communities. But you'd rather be a pet for the 1% than consider improving your life because you've internalized some meme that your pod city life is high status.Nice samefagging btw. If the average person is falling behind consider what dumb herd behaviors they're falling into and then break yourself free from it.
>>62208100>You also wouldn't have to deal with drugs, crime, diversity, homeless, etc.lol
>>62208878High status is “pretty damn big houses surrounded by pretty damn good nature and pretty damn awesome communities” INSIDE the city. You fucking ruralfag.
> Those cheap properties far from cities have some areas with pretty damn big houses surrounded by pretty damn good nature and pretty damn awesome communities. Location location location.
>>62208878> If the average person is falling behind consider what dumb herd behaviors they're falling into and then break yourself free from it.Why are you getting personal with me? I live in one of the areas I am describing. lol.
>>62208100If you weren't part of the top 10% in 2025, you're lower class
>>62208508This is it for me...and I'm taking it one step further by building my own house when I quit working. I will do 100% of the work myself. I am qualified, and taking 2 years and 200k or even less of my own money to build a non piece of shit house sounds better than taking a 500k mortgage on a money pit I additionally have to insure. Sand, rocks, and cement are cheaper than lumber if you do it yourself. My copper roof will scrap for more than I paid for it adjusted for inflation in 100 years when my great great grandchildren finally have to do the first roof maintenance.
>>62208512>agenderlol
Inbred rural rednecks are ok with destroying the world because they only make 35k a year in el paso or something.
>>62208100High end goods manufactured by multinational corporations don't get cheaper just because you live in rural Illinois or Estonia.CarsPhonesElectronics and appliancesAll cost the same or even more.So rest assured that the couple making $400k a year in suburban America has vastly more purchasing power than the couple making $100k in Estonia.
>>62208100The world is changing rapidly. Things are more connected and globalized than ever before. Niggers in buttfuck nowhere south Asia have smart phones, tablets and good enough internet to run global businesses. They are a part of the same economy as some nigger in Idaho somehow. All global systems are catching up to this fact and trying to use it to their advantage and enslave you. Now is the time to think and do something else other than live in faggot ass Kentucky or try to pretend like you're someone important in a large city. Big cities around the world are being flooded with Americans that know this. You have think outside the box or be enslaved. Create your own reality and be sovereign or be a golem in someone else's.TLDR Reject false dichotomy from 4chan
None of this matters if you're lonely.
>>62208100>nice areaThe elderly mother of the grinning TV with lived in an "affluent area" in arizona which is full of spics and next to mexico and she was abducted from her home and executed in mexico. There are no such things are nice or safe areas when nonwhites live there.
>>62210590So much cope from poor people.
>>62208644It’s meta to miss out on your 20s to maybe retire at 40?
>>62210982Wtf is 20’s?Graduate uni by 25 and enter full time work?
>>62210999He’s talking about living with his parents in his 20s
>>62208100You have a higher quality of life if you can get a remote job that pays moderately well, and then move to a poorfag nation where the currency you are paid in is worth heaps more than the local one.
>>62208100Don't assume grain farmers are only making $35k a year. Most are actually millionaires. And most rural people I know have multiple streams on income, and cohabitate with family members, on land they own.
>>62208100There are no “nice areas” in big cities because they are full of third world scum. American cities are disgusting shit holes like any other third world shit hole.
>>62208100> rural suburban losers always say thisBecause it’s worth it to make less, own more, and not be forced to live around urban goy cattle strivers.
>>62211993Well he's got you there Mutts.
