Most of my neighbors started a little community garden last year to supplement their foods. Vegetables and stuff.
It quickly became a reinvention of feudalism, now most of the town spends all day on the farm.

>only 9% of Americans earn over $150,000
That's a lot though. That's a higher percentage than there are men 6'2 and over in the US.

No better over here in Yurop. Same shit just a different place. Everyone I know, regardless if they make $50k or $200k++ have some much debt up their ass you can almost see it come out of their mouth.
Maximum mortgages they can get, most shitty car loans with 0-10% down, long term down payments on phones, laptops, house interior, vacations they cant afford, clothing they cant afford, lifestyle they cant afford etc etc.
And of course they pretend everything is okay when reality is that they are far behind every month.

That's essentially a middle class wage. Inflation makes that go as far as $100k back in 2018. If you want to buy a house you essentially need a 6 figure job. You only can start affording additional luxuries like an international vacation or new car at the $125k and up. And that's assuming you live in the suburbs in low tax state, not some price gouged apartment in New York or Califagia.

yes but when you consider our economy has largely been fake and gay for generations we're still doing quite well

Heh, sucks to be you. I simply left the US and bought a house in a low CoL nation. Keep paying 5x as much for the same shit I have and see how far you get.
They want you so mad about immigration that you don't even think about emigrating.

I was broke for a decade after I moved out. And then I decided I was tired of it and got a job where I made tips, and worked as much as I could. Then I made a conscious choice to spend basically no money at all for an entire month, put every penny I had into a hard to access savings account (no debit card), and started over at zero. I haven’t gone broke since.

>>524422247
I only have 4k in savings (against 13~k still owed on my car) but i've got 35k in stocks so i guess that's decent? Then in March i get a 15k check from some inheritance thing not sure if i wanna pay off my car which i recognize is the smart thing to save me $390 a month in payments or split it up 6k to the car, 6k to stocks and the rest in savings.
Admittedly i'm over-paying on the car already to the point that i can skip the next 2-3 payments without falling behind.

if a man has money he tries to marry a woman. she gets the divorce court to steal everything from him. if hes elon musk rich its ok. if hes only upper middle class, well, thats why americas sɔyboys are so vehemently feminist and conventional, they know the divorce court is watching and they also expect to be able to wait for the government to collapse. the market can remain irrational for longer than they can remain solvent because the purpose of the irrationality is to steal everything from them

If this is true, the nigger population must be much greater than 13%.

I finally make money now in my early 30s but now I'm stuck in this dying country and too old to find a woman of breeding age that isn't ugly.

I have 100k in the bank, have an 800 credit score and a six figure job and accomplished zero of my goals. If I could do life over again the first thing Id do after turning 18 would be to abandon my family and leave the country, or at least state, then after that Id impregnate the nearest 20 something around. Only after those two things would I start focusing on money. Whats the point of money without a family? Id be happy watching pirated television, going to the beach and all the other cheap entertainment. Money is only useful for raising kids.

Im feeling pretty down that I did everything right in life and still failed. No one wants an old guy no matter what the fools on here will tell you.

I write this as a warning to young people
>>
>>524422802
Yeah, all of that is mostly bullshit. Only holds up for urbanites and niggers. I was saving 30% of my 60k/yr salary just by having a roommate and we didn't waste money on stupid frivolities. Just bought a house at 30 in small town America. There are tons of people who live paycheck to paycheck making 100k+ annually because they have a nigger mentality. Stop wasting money on the white equivalent of spinning rims.

>>524426797
Basically the same for me. I had opportunities to date women in High School but was poor at the time and totally focused on being top of my class, getting scholarships to college, and getting a job because I wanted to be responsible and successful.
Now I have a 6 figure job and near a million dollars saved but still basically live like a nigger surrounded by niggers every day and still get treated like shit by society in general.
I work all week then wait for the weekend where I sit around doing nothing. Most hobbies I try end with me getting hassled in some way and realizing that you can't really do anything in this country.
I don't even see a white woman my age on an average day let alone a single one that i'd have any chance of dating.
Even if I become a top goon upper manager at my company it is all pretty meaningless and doesn't do anything for me and nobody really gives a fuck.
It's all carrot on a stick to give normalfags something to chase but the carrot is actually shit. Even if I got a 200K raise tomorrow it would change nothing i've basically hit the upper limit on how much working hard can improve my life.
I have money to buy whatever random shitty toys I want but will never have the stupidly huge amounts of money to do anything that would meaningfully change my life that multi-multi millionaires and billionaires have.

I've considered packing up all my shit, quitting my job, and buying some place to be a hermit out in the middle of nowhere but then i'd basically just be a neet the next few decades waiting to die. Which I honestly could've done from the start by just being poor and doing nothing.
>>
>>524422247
Yes, because they're majorly helpless, consumers who are easily swayed into attempting to buy themselves into luxury without the income to support it (rich). That, and no concept of debt. In many areas, its entirely possible to live and save a decent chunk on a 60K or maybe less income if you can repair shit, not buy every new phone, not pay on a Nissan for 8 years at max, etc...

>Are burgers really this poor?
Yes

>>524422247
cool... the only thing that makes america tolerable was the posibility to earn some extra cash and a better material life.

now that's gone...
so my claims will end up being true?
even if some was expecting 100 years more to actually really happen?
a few things are comming quickly than i would expect.

Anon, middle class wage was $60,000-$90,000 before prices on everything doubled a few years back.

The rest of your story is an admission that it took you over 10 years of saving while living in a cheap commie block despite making middle class wage before you were allowed to begin living. What you described is what the lower class is supposed to do, not the middle class. If you can't understand that much, then you are brainfucked. Having to bunk up with other faggots for 10+ years just to survive is for burger flippers, not white collar or tradesmen. You said that it wasn't an issue and then described the issue fucking perfectly.

I set up a place to grow food in my basement during the pandemic. Enough for my girlfriend and I. And some to barter for meat so I wouldn't be fighting for scraps in the streets like a dog. The pandemic ebbed, grocery stores had food again, so I use my little space to grow cannabis. Not for sale, for the personal use of friends, family, and I. So they don't have to smoke pesticides and pay those outrageous dispensary prices.

I have a paid off house from inheritance
Plus a commercial property paid off
Quit a job paying 120k to start my own thing with said commercial property as i have 140k saved up.

I havnt made any real strides in the business venture and being away from work has made me realize i dont want to work at all ...cus whats the point in a society gone to shit.

Even with all i have going for me, im still pour in comparission to the people robbing this country.
>>
>>524426797
in the same boat as you, anon
in my 30's, finally out of debt and making some appreciable income and savings
and realize there is nothing left to spend on in this hollowed out society
but i've accepted that if i had what i have now a decade ago, i would have quickly squandered it and missed out entirely what is important

it's the hedonism treadmill
those ultra-wealthy faggots are just as trapped as we are, also looking up to seek only more degenerate vices to dopamine-fry their brains
case in point: Elon Musk, richest faggot in the world, cannot fuck, has an army trooned surrogate children, and can only feel alive when surrounded with sycophantic visa-slaves
