What foods do people that make under $60k a year eat? What do they buy from the grocery store? $65k is the American average income. What about those that make $60k to $100$? $100k to $150k?$150k+?$200k+?$300k+?Some brokie tried to tell me he was doing well and “living life” when his household income was $100k.
>>22071676before or after taxes?
>>22071679After. $100k is lower middle class.
>>22071676Most people are poor.
russian demoralization bots are out in full force today. must be because the weather is nice.
>>22071676I make $57k and my meals are whatever I can find in public trash cans. When I’m thirsty I have to go down to the river
>>22071676do americans really?
>>22071809Americans wear shoes in their homes.
>>22071676I stopped caring about food when I turned 27 (71k before tax)noodles and some vegetables are fine at 29 (100k before tax)
>>22071676The median american income is $0.
>>22072001No, it is not.
>>22072019You can see on bureau of labor statistics that it is.
>>22071676I make $60k. I spent $130 on this. I usually spend $100 per week.
>>22071676the only thing I don't eat that I would like to more often is sushi
>>22072089Cut down on the meat
>>22071676ingredients to make indonesian or japanese meals. ~250k dollaridoos
>>22071676100k and I just eat what i feel like. As in, if I get the idea to cook something and part of that recipe is spending 4 dollars on something I'll only use 1/10th of and know it'll go to waste, then I don't really give a fuck. If the dish will cost me a decent bit in ingredients then I again don't really give a fuck. I don't actively try to waste food, but I wouldn't think to let the idea of spending money keep me from cooking something I love or trying something new. If I want to go out to eat somewhere then I just do that, and don't give a shit about the cost. I don't live in NYC or anything, it's pretty middle of the road in terms of cost of living so 100k lets me live very comfortably eating and cooking whatever and still put a lot of money away for retirement.tl;dr money just isn't a factor for me when it comes to food because my tastes aren't beluga caviar every day. If that was the case then maybe I'd need to meter myself
Strange threadAmericans eat like old world kings regardless of their income
>>22072114Isn't it normal to eat meat once a day? Most of it gets frozen.I also like to fry up some chicken tenders to freeze.
>>22071676>Some brokie tried to tell me he was doing well and “living life” when his household income was $100k.You have the economic noesis of an 18yo woman at a club
>>22071676i earn 17k a year and buy 320 pizza rolls for 24usd and 10lbs of chicken nuggets for 28usd and then eat that for a little over 2 weeks then get it again
>>22071676under 60k beans, rice, bread, tortillas, and value pack chicken when on sale. 10 dollars for 5lbs bone in thighs where i live, 60 to 100 - chicken breast/thighs, ground beef/turkey, frozen fish. 150+ steak, shellfish and expensive take out. my uncle makes 500k+ and he eats at least 200 dollars worth of sushi a week
>>22072277$100k is lower middle class in usa. Idiot.
>>22072089whats you get and for how much cause that looks like it would cost 200+ where i live
>>22072968Idk, he won’t reply, probably 50% larp. American average income is $65k even in the richest states lol. Or one of those 1/20 or 1/15 guys who got those rare higher paying jobs in cheap areas.
I make $200k and still have a rotation of food banks that I hit every month. My taxes pay for this stuff, you bet your ass I'm going to be getting some back. At the very least me getting a food box means some leech doesn't get it.Anything that's unhealthy or poor people slop I give to my neighbors or throw in the trash, but the stuff like fresh produce and pasta I eat with the salmon steaks and wine I buy from Whole Foods.
>>22073043You make $200k and you do that? Wtf?Lmao.
>>22073043> Anything that's unhealthy or poor people slop I give to my neighbors or throw in the trashSo you’re lower class or middle class that got a $200k job?Oh I get it now.
>>22073043> but the stuff like fresh produce and pasta I eat with the salmon steaks and wine I buy from Whole Foods.Whole Foods is a rip off and the most recent earnings report showed that most people that shop there should not be shopping there.
>>22073044Yes. The United States is a coffer that is constantly being robbed by everyone from all levels and from all around the world. The poor, the rich, the local and the foreigner all have their hand in there always taking something for themselves. The only people refilling this coffer are stupid middleclass whites who are "too proud" to take handouts.I pay in taxes each year more than the median family grosses in income. I am solo supporting an entire family via taxes, yet I'm single and hated by women. So yes you better believe I am going to get mine. I am going to try and get out of the system what I put into it. Everyone else is taking from what I pay into the government, I'm going to get what I can too.
>>22073043money can’t buy class
>>22073052He literally is lower class though. No good neighborhood will have neighbors who take foods from their neighbors. >>22073050Bruh, how much you paying in taxes? You just have a $200k job, bro.
>>22073050I see why you’re hated by women
>>2207304890% of the reason why I go to Whole foods is so I don't have to be surrounded by brown people. Shopping at Safeway or Fry's I feel like I'm risking my life and sanity. I'm willing to pay a little extra to not have to deal with that.
>>22073057>no good neighborhood will share foodSorry you live in a low trust mixed race sithole. My community does potlucks and block parties pretty frequently.My effective tax rate is 30% so yes I'm paying about the average household income.
>>22073059I remember going to Whole Foods once and asking for like 3-5 chicken breasts and the guy gave me a look. It either because I don’t look stupid or because I look poor, lmao pick one. He gave me a look and weighed out the breasts and it was like $80. I said no thanks. Trust me, according to the earnings report, most people shopping there shouldn’t be shopping there. It is like how during the GFC, all these luxury cars went to the market because the owners couldn’t make payments anymore.
Whoever called this a demoralization thread was right. What a bunch of faggots ITT.
>>22073065Clearly low income neighborhoods bro. Lmao. Have some self-awareness. You might be jesting a bit but yeah. You give your neighbora food you got from the food bank you don’t want and in rich areas, that’s an insult lmao. Even if the food wasn’t from a food bank.
>>22073070Where is the demoralization?That anon talking about getting from food banks and giving items he doesn’t want to his neighbors. Lmao. In any good area, doing that is an insult.
>>22073065Bruh, you’re just lower class who got a little lucky with an income job.
Why is this guy triple responding to me like I give a fuck about him.
>>22073043>>22073050Poor people already steal your money, why let them steal your time too? I make half that and I couldn't imagine myself associating with the destitute. If you want to spite the poor then with the resources available to you, you could probably find some legal way to do them far more harm with that time than just taking a single serving from a food bank every once in a while.Just seems both very inefficient and also inconvenient to you compared to just lobbying your local government to push legislation that would fuck over far more of them or something similar.
>>22071803No gasoline in moscow
>>22073052> Anything that's unhealthy or poor people slop I give to my neighbors or throw in the trashBro lives with neighbours like that but thinks he better than them. >>22073086This guy IS lower class. Lmao block parties and what?Giving his neighbors foods he doesn’t want? You do that in my neighborhood and it would be insulting. lmao. Giving groceries to your next door neighbor? LOLLmao. Poor people have no self-awareness. kek.
>>22073065I think they mean random food items like mr.20k is talking about. >>22073057That’s my point, anon-kunDespite having apparently more money than his neighbors he is still low class either like them or worse than them. >>22073050What you’re doing just sounds retarded since most of those places run on direct donations and they don’t go buy groceries. You’re getting lower quality, close to expiring stuff, in a shitty environment, as you stew about the system. You sound absolutely insufferable to be around, even as a man.
>>22073083This loser got some $200k wfh job, lucky, since he is lower class and now thinks he is better than his neighbors lolsss
>>22073090Block parties will depend on the community desu, I can see typical people in his income bracket doing that if it's a close-knit community or a church-related thing that became a larger gathering. Spitefully taking from food banks is a bit silly though, I wouldn't do that and even if you wanted to then like I said you could do more damage legally for less effort with his income if you think for even 10 minutes, but I guess he's not capable.
>>22073094Bruh, only low income neighborhoods are like that. That’s the reality in 2026. Rich areas have big yard and gates to fuck off from everyone. >>22073086Lmao. Money can’t buy class. Look at Kardashians. This guy is talking about giving foods he doesn’t want to his neighbors and thinking he is better than others. Bruh.
>>22073092What kind of brokie ahh neighbours even would take food from neighbours. lmaoo
>>22073092If you want to “use” your taxes > harass the cops into doing their jobs (assuming you live in a bad area)> go to local govt meetings and hold them accountable for their shortcomings> go to the hospital and don’t pay the bill> start a business> buy a house using the first time owner thing> buy land and rezone it to agriculture, get farm subsidies> let your lawn overgrow and then get it certified as native> start a charity that you donate so much to you owe no taxes> use 4chan at the library, use the library at all> use the parks instead of being a seething cunt> use the tax code to pay less taxes like a classy rich personThat stuff is at least cool>>22073065> 30% Are you sure about that, buddy?Because that would mean you’re making closer to 300k
>>22073100Those same rich areas are typically gated off from regular people. Maybe it's different here in the southeast US but religiously-based things become community events with the parishioners of the congregation, and there is a bigger sense of community than in more northern megacity areas. Different churches attract different communities of people, typically depending on where you live. Churches in rich neighborhoods tend to have rich parishioners and they flaunt their wealth with things like these, or birthday or holiday parties. It's all a flex in the end but these sorts of things are not limited to poor people in this region of the country. It might be different where you live.
>>22073107Oh i forgot a big one, go to a defense industry event and steal their food
>>22073107I spend most of my free time operating a cash only side business. That $200k is what appears on my W-2. That's how I mostly get back at the government.Yes my effective tax rate is about 30% when you consider all the side bullshit we get taxed on like sales tax, home owner tax, liveable wages fees, etc.
>>22073114Bruh, I am a big city person. We do not have this wierd church thing here even though many churches and church communities. A block or neighborhood party just reeks of low income and wierd.
>>22073123> That's how I mostly get back at the government.This anon literally is part of the class that takes more than they give. He now makes $200k and tries so hard to think he isn’t part of that same class.
>>22073126I was through Portland a bit when I was vacationing in the pacific northwest a month ago, there are some nice things about it but I don't know if I'd enjoy living too close to a city of that size. Maybe in one of the outer subdivisions. Traffic was rough when we had to travel through.
>>22073132>Portlandlmao. Literally where blm and antifa riots happen. Bruhhh. Are yall trolling?
>>22073123You have some psychological issues probably because you are part of the same class as those you look down on and wish to seperate yourself from them since you have higher income now.
>>22073140Ikr. This guy lives in the same neighborhood as those that go to food banks. He probably sees his neighbors at the food bank too.
>>22073136It's just the biggest city I've been to, I was posting something related to my experience with bigger cities. I didn't see much of any of that BLM stuff but then I didn't go really downtown. I went to the zoo and a forestry museum near it. I'm sure it was truly awful around 2020 or so by I wasn't there for that. I was just talking about the traffic, man, calm yourself.
>>22073152Bro, Portland is a shithole city. You need to educate yourself. It is a brokie liberal enclave where everyone shouts blm and eat the rich
>>22073123Anon-kunYou HAVE to be trolling
>>22073152> forestry museumBased, great way to use tax dollars>>22073155It’s not 2020 anymore, you can go outside now>>22073123You seem to have no understanding of the tax system, i bet a cpa could do wonders for you
>>22073161That city is probably way worse now. Lmao. The massive wealth gap and wealth “inequality” means “people” in that city are even worse off than 2020.
>>22073155Sure I don't doubt most people are liberal dweebs but the zoo and that museum-type building near it were nice, like I said I'm really just talking about how god-awful the traffic was. You sound about as fun to talk to as the 200k fag who raids food banks honestly. The most annoying thing about the city and its surrounding areas was the ban on plastic bags and them charging you for paper bags. I get the feeling that most of the biggest cities in the states are liberal shitholes on some level.
>>22073168Portland is famous for being a shithole.
>>22073173When was the last time you went there?/ck/-related I made a reservation at a nice contemporary restaurant there called Arden and it was quite nice, the table service was the best of any restaurant I've been to. Did the chef 4-course meal and there were some very nice things on offer. They did a miso chocolate tart and a strawberry rhubarb/pepper tart with a biscuit crust for desert that was very pleasant, not overly sweet. This is the closest pic I could find on google to it.
>>22073166My point was that it’s not blm rioting anymore, you sound retarded it’s mostly drug addicts and antisocial hipsters now though
>>22073184Who cares? It is Portland ffs.
>>22073187>Who cares?So never?
>>22071676ChickenSpinachBeansPastamost nights a week for dinner
Low income tends to correlate with low iq so they tend to eat slop.
>>22073186This was my experience, hipsters and some clear druggies, one fent tent on a street corner.Another place to visit for anyone in the Mt.Hood area in Oregon is the Zigzag Inn. Very nice people and the food was mostly quite good, but the take-and-bake pizza wasn't great. They have a bigfoot statue out front with a huge ass.https://www.zigzaginn.com/
>>22073199That’s george floyd
>>22073199 GYAT DAYUM
>>22073219Do not besmirch the noble sasquatch.
>>22071676I make 150k a yearI eat taco bell and little caesars pizza
>>22071676>giving dyrdek money>drinking sodathat's just gay, op.as far as the food they eat, groceries exist.ever heard of spaghetti?
>>22072114listen, anon.it's on sale for the 4th.heb don't fuck around.
>>22073050>The United States is a coffer that is constantly being robbed by everyone from all levels and from all around the worldthis is why i'm running for president, anon.i know EXACTLY how to stop it.
>>22073086lobbying will be outlawed once i'm president, anon.we're gonna get rid of the poor by making everybody rich or dead.
Our HHI will be ~$800k this year and we eat about the same as when it was $200k. I splurge a little at the butcher from time to time but now that we have a kid we rarely do fine dining.
>>22073303Based
>>22072968>>22073032I live in a medium size town in Texas and my pay is average. The only people who struggle are the ones making above food stamp requirements to average income that live in big cities, or people not willing to move.
>>22073348How do you cook the ribs?
fuck you OPstay on /biz/ you stupid fuck I see you
>>22073373Cut out the membrane, rub olive oil then the spices. (One rib, be generous with the spicies)Set the oven at 325 for 2hrs.
>>22073303Would be cool, though I'll be operating in my life like that won't ever happen because I don't think such things are likely.
>>22073518This sounds decent. Ty might try it.
>>22073073This. Imagine calling others scum when you go to food banks and hang around neighbors who are willing to take your garbage groceries.
>>22073184Nta but it is Portland. Are there any Portland anons here?
>>22072504So about 23 pizza rolls and 13 nuggets per day?
>>22073535I’m in the area, but mostly end up in the suburbs
>>22073563Were you part of the blm riots?
>>22073567Yes.
>>22071676>What foods do people that make under $60k a year eat?the same as people over $100k but they just complain about being broke more
>>22071676when I was making 55k I'd put macaroni in canned tomato sauce and eat that. It was about $2/day back in 2023
>>22071676the richest guy i know is also the cheapest by far
