We are rapidly approaching a point that 200k is considered the new 100k salary.

working is pointless

not to be negative Nancy, but, breeding is also pointless

Already is when fast food workers are making like 22$ an hour. Six figures is just the start of a real wage now.
>>
>>539254794
And yet most people are still making $50k and under
>>
>>539255260

I make around 120k, will probably get a promotion in a year or so bumping it to 135-140k, but it's remarkable how little money that actually is today.

>>539255260
I'm at 22.80 and I put soda on the shelves at the grocery store.

A closet sized studio apartment in a Slopblock costs at least $1400/mo now, which translates to $60k/yr so the new 100k salary is more like $250k/yr
>>
>>539254794
i got a raise from $120k to $150k this year. i can now 'comfortably' afford a $350k cuckbox home. i have a masters degree, a CPA license, and 7 years of work experience and constant promotions. if i look at who lives in a $350k house, it's some retard fuck gen x who worked at the post office for 25 years or something with a high school diploma.

>>539254794
also i'm still renting. there are $700k houses next to me. they are also inhabited by retard fuck gen x who might make $120k.

Pan Piano makes $300,000 a year. Three hundred thousand dollars. Just for playing some anime songs on a piano while wearing sexy cosplay that shows off her body. She gets to live a dream life, adored by millions, handed everything on a silver platter because she’s attractive and knows how to milk simps for attention. And here I am, working 12-hour shifts in a warehouse for $16 an hour.

I still live with my parents because rent is insane, and no one can live on $16 an hour. My parents don’t understand. They think it’s “good money” because they’re stuck in the 90s and have no clue how the world works now. They just complain about me still being at home but refuse to acknowledge how impossible it is to get ahead anymore.

My whole life has been a disaster. My parents didn’t raise me; they just fought each other all the time and treated me like some kind of inconvenient afterthought. They never let me go outside because of “stranger danger,” so I never made friends. Never had a childhood. Never even had a girlfriend. I’m 26 years old, and I’ve never even kissed a girl. I don’t know how to talk to people because I was never given the chance to grow.

Meanwhile, people like Pan Piano get to coast through life just for existing. She doesn’t know what it’s like to struggle. She doesn’t know what it’s like to wake up every day feeling like you’re on a treadmill to nowhere, working just to survive while never actually living. She’s out there getting praised and rewarded for flaunting her body while I’m invisible, grinding away at a job that doesn’t care about me, with no future, no hope, no nothing.

This also does an immeasurable amount of mental damage to younger crowds. You work your ass off and never misstep once and you MIGHT get what the town retard easily achieved working at a grocery store back in the day. On top of that you also get to watch random retards and women on the internet make 5 million dollars overnight because some Jewish algorithm selected their channel on twitch where they scream into the camera or flash their tits. It's maddening.

they bought the house pre-covid. If you got a mortgage between 2008-2020, you are sitting pretty. If you've been renting, you've been getting railed in the ass since rent goes up every year. Boomers who took out a 30 year mortgage 25 years ago are still probably paying $400/mo or whatever it was back in 2001
>>
>>539255740
120k is unironically lower middle class now in most cities.
>>
>>539256531
Boomers bought their houses in the 80s when mortgage rates were 17%.
>>
>>539256653
My parents bought their house in the 80’s when interest rates were that high and they paid the house off in 8 years.
>>
>>539256653
and houses were much cheaper. that's not the point though - your monthly payment stays the same all 30 years assuming you weren't retarded and got a fixed rate
>>
>>539256704
and i'm a millennial and own a house, what's your excuse?

>>539256794
so why didn't you buy in 2021 when rates were 2%?
>>
>>539256913
I already paid off my house in 2017.
>>
>>539257000
so what's your point?
>>
>>539257075
what's your point?
>>
>>539257120
that boomers didn't buy their houses in the 2000s, they bought them in the 80s. now what's yours

Honestly I think we've already passed that amount we just don't realize it because of shrinkflation.
>>
>>539254794
i only make 85k in nyc and im so fucking poor
but i have 4k LINK
>>
>A sum of $100,000 in 1990 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $256,406 today. This reflects a cumulative inflation increase of about 156.4% over this period, meaning it would take more than two and a half times as much money today to buy the exact same basket of goods.

$250,000 is the new $100,000.
>>
>>539257996

Housing prices are really the biggest driver, when 600k becomes the normal house price(which it has on the west coast) 100k is not much.
>>
>>539254794
Out here in Caliwali, ~$320k/yr income is needed to enter the housing market for the 1st time, to buy the average home. HONK HONK
>>
>>539254794
wut? I thought 100k was the new 50k
