Someone told me 70% of Americans are blue collar. Is this true?Any blue collar anons here?Could this be why 70% of Americans have no savings?I think /biz/ is pretty redpilled on blue collar being for low iq low class people, but in real life, I noticed blue collar people consider themselves equal to everyone else. Discuss.

>>62281108i make like 2.5 the average income of my same aged peers in my state workin from home in my underwear. In the last 5 weeks I made more than their annual income from stock gains alone
>>62281108Shalom
>>62281133JepIts crazy how this one guy sticks out
>>62281108If you ever visit america one of the first things you might notice is that NOBODY considers themselves equal to anyone else.everyone thinks they're better than everyone else. The entire US culture is just main character syndrome and fried food
Why do Americans call pretty much everyone middle class? One thing I never got
Someone who has a million dollars in the stock market in just a basic bitch S&P 500 like VOO can grow their net worth 160-200k by doing absolutely nothing. They never have to leave the house, not once.Its even worse for wagies nowadays because a rich person will just pay themselves 66k a year tax free. If they are single filer and have no job, free money. Even better if your state has no income tax.The poor person works a job for 66k, and pays 20%+ in tax. So really they only make 50k, and then even more money because they have to drive to their job every single day, so about $120 a month on gas.Then they have to pay another tax which is about equivalent to 16-20% with their time, because they are wasting 8 hours going to a job and thats their only income.A rich person makes the money from the stock market and they can also have a job that pays them so really their net worth is growing every year from two income streams. They have dual income. Even if they wont be able to spend 250-350k a year or take it out of the stock market, their net worth is still growing by that much per year.
>>62281178But this is why you need to know the financial and economic data and list it to them and then people find out they aren’t doing well.
>>62281198you think you're gonna convince someone that doesn't make much money that their worth has to be measured in money?I see you've never spoken to a real human in your life. How interesting.
>>62281211What?People think they are doing well and you tell them the data and they realize they are actually not doing well.> you think you're gonna convince someone that doesn't make much money that their worth has to be measured in money?They think they are doing well and earning good money, then you can tell them they are losing money if they make even just the average salary.
>same picture and thread for monthsThis board sucks fat dick
>>62281190Some guy today told me he considers his family middle class, I told him middle class is $150k to $250k income. Is that right?
>>62281238so you think people who don't make much money don't know they don't make much money and need other people to tell them they don't make much money?again, come to america and tell some wagies they don't make much money and see what they do to you
>>62281191you pay taxes on stock market gains just like the income
>>62281252> so you think people who don't make much money don't know they don't make much money and need other people to tell them they don't make much moneyPeople DON’T KNOW they are not doing well or even falling behind. Everyone tells me they are doing well.
>>62281264you're even dumber than they are if you believe that.or you're trying to brag about how rich you arebut nobody believes you're rich just because you say you are.
>>62281240the op pic is 100% truth though
>>62281252> come to america and tell some wagies they don't make much money and see what they do to youI was in the supermarket and I asked the wagie why he works and he said,”to get rich!”Then I laughed and walked away. I literally do that.
>>62281264>you're even dumber than they are if you believe that.Believe what?I believe the economic data which I tell people. What are you talking about?It isn’t personal, I just tell people the data. I don’t call people poor.
>>62281263Nope, Not on long term gains tax and if you live in a state with no income tax.For a single filer 0% up to $49,450+16,000 deductible = $65,450 tax free.Assuming you make nothing and have no job.
>>62281270It's absolute bullshit since probably more than half of rich people are tradies and teach their kids trades
>>62281284>t. tradie
>>62281279>It isn’t personal, I just tell people the data.I doubt you've gone outside in the last 12 months, let alone talked to strangers about their wages
>>62281252I told people economy data and someone literally said “tiktok knowledge” to me. Most people don’t know they are falling behind.
>>62281288>an estimated 80% to 90% of millionaires are entrepreneurs or business owners, including those who built and sold successful blue-collar contracting companies (e.g., plumbing, HVAC, electrical).
>>62281273>Then I laughed and walked away. I literally do that.You bragging about being a cunt to wagies?I tip them and tell them to take care of themselves. Why would I try to turn good hard working kids into doomer faggots like you?
>>62281293And of that 80-90%, 3% are blue collar unfortunately.
>>62281301probably over halfthat's the thing about small businesses and trades contractors. They may not make as much as other companies, but there's a lot more of them.
>>62281270I don't care, the sky is blue and water is wet, I don't make a post about that every single week. This board blows and this guy is a spammer
>>62281263>you pay taxes on stock market gains just like the income>mfw no social security and medicare taxes taken out of my gains>mfw automatically get 7.65% more than wagies
>>62281316The mainstream business news talks about the k shaped economy every day.Cope. >>62281304Yeah…noCope tradie
>>62281282Got it; you're right.
>>62281333>Yeah I'm no better than a boomer boxHow about you kill yourself so I don't have to see your garbage threads anymore
And now he has to post 40 replies in his thread as always. This jew got no life.
>>62281108OCPD namenigger uses the leto furfag child pornography residential VPN service to samefag his own shit threads with different IDs. see >>62281252 >>62281269 >>62281270balding pederast trannitors ($0.00/hour) do nothing to stop this. curious.

>>62281108>Imagine not working an easy union job.>Imagine not being near impossible to fire.>Imagine not working at 70% speed all the time and relaxing..d graphite clean room chad
>>62281108Rural bluecollar worker here. Basically normies are niggercattle and waste all their money on petty vices, scratch offs and gas station slop. This paycheck to paycheck is entirely self inflicted. Most people I have worked with and live near have no conviction or discipline. They are mindless consumers in every way and waste their money. They even live on debt. They 'buy' brandnew trucks with 600$/month payments and who knows how many credit cards. I only stay because I have good land, great views and don't have to see any neighbors. I just investmax, bring my own lunch, grow my garden and even make my own wine. Life's good not wasting most of my paycheck on gas station slop and other random bullshit.
>>62281248Middle class is 400k-1million annual income.
>>62281586Even in the most expensive states it isnt 400k income.
>>62281710hush now he's larping as a millionaire on 4chan and needs you to believe that he believes that a million dollars a year is poor-people moneynevermind that he's 12 years old and will never give any evidence that he's anything other than a poor person himself.
>>62281566Two Dads Bob famously said the difference between the rich, midldle class, and poor is that the rich spend their money on assets that make them richer, like businesses and stocks, the middle class spend their money on liabilities that they think are assets like cars and houses, and the poor spend their money on luxuries, stuff that is instantly worthless the minute you buy it, like restaurant meals, alcohol, tobacco, clothes etc
>>62281178youve never visited America
>>62281762I'd bet money I'm the only american here
>>62281108I'm a high class white of pure Long Island Anglo Saxon breeding stock so hide all chink postsYou might have a little money but you're still a chink immigrant
>>62281824Your country is half black and brown and has been destroyed. Your culture and heritage wiped out. Don’t be like some American elderly tourist I met in 2000 in Europe shouting “i am an american.” This is 2026. You aint shit. Usa has lots it places in the world.
>>62281190Hollywood
>>62281847Everyone thinks they are in the middle. It is that simple but everyone in the bottom 90% are actually falling behind and most don’t realize this cause most don’t even know the economic data. Something low iq blue collar said I was spewing “tiktok data” when I told him the economic facts. Also, Cramer on cnbc was literally just talking about the k shaped economy and k shaped recovery.
70% of americans are basically are retards with a 40k/yr job who just blow their money or living paycheck to paycheck and are living somewhere overpriced to hell. They did a study most americans the majority 70% cannot afford a $1000 expense without borrowing or selling something15-18% are inbetween okay and a millionaire, middle income. Could be 100K USD saved, could be 50K USD, could be 25K USD, could be 400K USD. 10% are millionaires1% are uber rich basically multi-millions.
>>62281867> 70% of americans are basically are retards with a 40k/yr jobThis. Average salary being $65k is just the higher incomes bringing the average up.
>>62281881So what's the median?
>>62281881Similar to avg
>>62281108my blue collar coworkers are genuinely more intelligent people than 95% of my old college friends/acquaintances
>>62282011then whatever the higher value is won't affect the average that much
>>62281108I don't feel rich $4,000 a month free flow cash.
>>62282030/biz/ doesn't understand that higher paid americans are almost never waged or salaried.Almost anyone with earnings above $100k is a contractor/business owner
>>62282063I don't think when people talk about the "average salary" they're talking strictly about salaried employees, just whatever is taxable income.
>>62282063?Except for all the employees who make way over 100k like cops, unionized truck drivers, any skilled trade worker, every other company that lets you pack on the overtime...
>>62282030Lmao did I just reply to myself?What do you mean it won’t affect much?Some people prefer median over average.
>>62282063Big cities pay over $100k for quite a few office positions.
>>62282090median will be less affected by outliers than the average
>>62281108This is a retarded image because most elites go to elite schools and are recruited by other elites. And they don't really use their degrees, they just get jobs through nepotism or just don't work. Some stupid bitch with a degree in psych isn't going to be on the same level
>>62282072>I don't think when people talk about the "average salary" they're talking strictly about salaried employeeswhat an odd thing to think
>>62282115Why? Plenty of people are hourly.
>>62282108Tones of bitches majored in psychology lmao. Is this still a trend?
>>62282119Salary =\= wage earners
>>62282191Technically correct.
>>62281800then you are describing your personal experiences. so basically everyone thinks they are better than you. I wonder why.
>>62281211>You think you're gonna convince people that the single most important metric for literally every possible evaluation of how well your life is going is how you measure worth?I mean, they might not accept it due to not making much money, but yeah, how much money you make/how much money you have has been unanimously decided by every human alive to be the yardstick for your success as a person, for a lot of people its seen as a way to measure how 'right' you are, how 'smart' you are, how 'good' you are. Someone can be definitively smarter than you, but if you simply say "Well then why am I rich, and you're not?" most people would consider them BTFO, despite that theres obviously flaws in that logic to people with iq's above 100
>>62282840just saying, people tend to value themselves for what they're good at. Poor people usually pride themselves on generosity, honesty, maybe happiness or being useful. Whatever.I don't know, I haven't been poor in a very long time, but I've never met a poor person that thinks they're less than rich people. If anything they consider rich people unethical and overly proud. If they consider wealth at all.
>>62281133>>62281177curious how the OCPD namenigger off topic thread still hasn't been deleted.
>>62281178>Wake up>Check the political news>"Man these people sure are dumb. They don't see what's obviously happening here..anyways I don't have time for this nonsense">Put on clothing>"Man I'm sure glad I found those deals for clothing. People just spend so much money on outfits for no reason..">Get in car>"Man, everyone else is driving like a maniac today. What is their problem?">Go to work>"Man so many of people are corporate drones. It's really sad to be honest..">Drive to supermarket>"Wow I saved up so much money despite these higher prices. I'm really good at this!>Drive home>"Ugh..I'm tired of all these distracted drivers...">Arrive at apartment>"Man, that person still didn't clean up the hallway..">Go on phone>"Ugh so many awful takes today. Why are there so many stupid people online">Go to sleep
Im a lineman.I will make 225k this year.u mad?
>>62281108>Your job dictates whether or not you have savingsAre you retarded?>They're pushing trade school on kids who don't have family connections to get them a corner office in the family business listening to their walkman all dayNo shit?
>>62281273Why?
>>62283440Stop spying on me!
>>62281566I was a rural bluecollar worker like you. I started working when I was 12 in the hog barns for less than minimum wage. I opened a brokerage account on my 18th birthday and put most of my money into Apple and then later bitcoin. I retired when I was 27. I live in one of the cheapest houses in my rural county and still drive the 78 F-150 I bought for $400. The town is safe and my house doesn't even have working locks. My grandma used to talk in yiddish sometimes so I suspect I might be part Jew.
>>62283440It's just like 1984 except Winston is really smug about it.
>>62283440this is me but i dwell on these things and think about how i fit into iti am literally, actually, better than other peopleit's a special kind of hell
