Goyim everywhere say I'm stupid and should have invested instead of paying it off fast.

Exactly. If you have 4 kids and make below that first mark you get SNAP EBT TANF utility vouchers housing vouchers and in Louisiana Medicaid until your last kid turns 19. Why would anyone want to be above that line because you get to live for free. You can get free phones and Internet, bus passes, dental, mental health, and if just one kid has delayed speech it's an automatic 800 extra per month and of the speech delay goes away nobody ever reevaluates and that 800pm is for life. The system tries very hard to find the least little thing to award the 800pm to as many as possible once you are already on the welfare roles. Having offspring is like a major disability to the government. There is no reason not to be poverty tier. Live in has a job and that person or their income is never reported or checked by anyone. Best hack in America. Poverty in America is a golden ticket. Making those upper ranks means taxes upon taxes upon taxes and budgeting what is left.

It's actually a lot of money if you're single and budget/live like you have nothing. Once you hit 200 to 300k in savings...if you aren't retarded you should be able to start using your money to generate some sort of side income. Not necessarily real estate bullshit. Writing a book, getting a food truck going, stock trading, or some other sort of small local service like washing windows, or a cheap hydroponic grow op for berries or other herbs/greens.

Poverty: under €50k (that's 90% of wagies)
Lower income: €50k - €70k (around top 10% make this income)
Middle class: €100k - €150k (needed income for the living standards of a boomer factory worker when he was young, now its the income of the most successful people in Spain, that is, top government officials and CEOs who get favors from government officials)
Upper income: above €200k

Worked in the system for a time. Two sisters in adjacent counties had 11 or so kids between them. They got benefits for all of them from both counties. One rented a tiny two bedroom dead in the hood, the other used the section 8 in the tawny county nextdoor and it was a huge beautiful two story in an incredible neighborhood. Oldest kid mad at mom spills the entire scheme with details to authorities. Not a single thing happened to them. They both had men that also worked as well. Very successful scheme that not a single govt entity from social services to juvy lifted a finger to stop when the fraud was spelled out to them in their faces. Even passed it along to DA of both counties. Crickets. They figured America out and they pass info along to others no problem.

idk man, I've been on the section 8 waitlist for 4 years & cannot afford a studio apartment in any given state in the US. I'm a single white dude with a credit score in the 700's, but got born with congenital disabilities that make it impossible to work a normal job. I tried working part time and ended up with blisters, cuts, and severe muscle fatigue after just two years. I was given SSDI, but not SSI...then a few years later, they award me SSI and continuously flip-flop about whether I have health insurance (They sent me multiple medicaid cards from multiple insurance companies within the span of a few months, even though I never enrolled in anything)...then during COVID I get a letter telling me I finally qualify for SNAP, and it wasn't until I got on SNAP that I got enrolled in the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary program. (The only medicare program where you get mostly-free healthcare.) The whole process seems convoluted and Kafkaesque, even if you have obvious/visible medical issues. I finally know exactly what my benefits are, and they're still sending me a new medicaid insurance card every couple of months. All of them have the same exact information on them, so I have no fucking clue how/why the system is choosing to make me new ones.

tl;dr Being on benefits is only easy for people willing to play the system. If you actually need them, you can expect the government to tap you in the nuts every few months for ha-ha's.

It's very simple;

Do you have assets that give you an income that sustain a lifestyle you want with out requiring you to work? You're middle class.

125k doesn't even get you a house. $40k to taxes (federal, state, fica), another 8k for retirement, health insurance is $400/month at any decent paying job cause they know you can afford to be shafted so that's another 5k down. You're already down to $69k by the time you're actually paid and your mortgage is $3k on a 7% 500k shit house (50 year old house half an hour from work) so that's another 36k gone. Groceries, utilities, car, gas, brings you to about $20k, congrats you save up $1,200 a month now and let's hope you don't need new tires or that month is gone. Your kid needs the dentist? That month's gone. Your wife needs the hospital? Shit man, 3-6 months gone.

125k in this economy, in the places where people make that much (high cost of living areas), is almost paycheck to paycheck. I make 160k and get annoyed at costs.

Lower income: $80k - $125k
Lower middle class: $125k - $180k
Middle class: $180k - $280k
Upper middle: $280k - $500k
Upper income: above $500k

Fight me about it. I'm a single male making $250k btw.
>>
>>540361845
How much trickery can you fit in one report? Near poverty is a $15,000 gap but middle class and upper middle class is a $40,000 gap. If you make less than $100,000 , you are lower middle class easily.

$15,000 isn't poverty it just plain isn't feasible unless you are living with parents (like me at 40 yrs old who teaches English online and makes $20,000)

You can do quite nicely on a "lower income" if you're not a fool with your money.

Arthur Bremer the assassin of George Wallace in 1972? 71? was earning $2.30 an hour as a hospital janitor. He lived in a one room walk up cold water flat that is with just a tiny sink in his little slum room and a shared toilet and bathtub at the end of the hall. That was quite common back then and it does exist even now.

The kind of idealized American lifestyle, the erroneously designated "American Dream" is mainly aspirational, and dependent on having an austere puritanical work ethic. An ethic for work at education and then at employment. It never was a given. It is a goal for those so disposed to pursue it.

No. I agree. I make $210k-$220k after bonus and wife earns $70k. We have 2 kids and I have to watch our household spending closely to make sure the kids can do summer camp(s), boy does hockey and drums, daughter does ballet and hunter/jumper, and we still have enough left over for retirement planning, a family vacation every year, and a little for hobbies. We got lucky buying a house in 2020 when rates were last bottomed out. I know for a fact back in the early/mid 90s my dad made $150k all-in and my mom didn’t work. Two vacations a year, often one required major flights, he had a project car, a boat, he wasn’t drowning in debt, and bought a 5 bedroom new build home in a really nice area in 1992 for $150k or basically 1x his salary, which requires 4x for me.

Yes but the key to the idealized Eisenhower years which I witnessed a tiny bit of 1957 definitely 1958 (grade 1) weren't so much about just material prosperity as they were about the discipline and morale of the populace at large though of course there will always be drunkards and scoundrels and fools always. That nuclear family could be quite prosperous and happy even on a construction laborer's wages, but not if the husband was a wife beating alcoholic.

>Nonfarm payrolls fell by a seasonally adjusted 23,000 for the month, compared with a downwardly revised 20,000 for June. The Dow Jones consensus forecast had been looking for a gain of 83,000.

>At the same time, the unemployment slipped to 4.1% as the labor force participation rate fell further to 61.4%, its lowest in more than five years, another indication that fewer Americans were working or looking for jobs.

>In addition to the weak numbers for June and July, the final count for May was revised down to 63,000, or 66,000 lower than the prior estimate. The revised numbers brought the 12-month average down to just 34,000.

>“The July employment report solidified that the labor market is not out of the woods quite yet,” said Nicole Bachaud, a labor economist at ZipRecruiter.

>While jobs held flat, worker pay also saw virtually no gain during the month. Average hourly earnings increased by just 2 cents, bringing the 12-month average down to 3.2%, below the forecast increase of 3.5% and the lowest since May 2021.

>Household employment, which measures the total of people reporting that they are working and is used to calculate the unemployment rate, fell by 87,000. However, the unemployment rate declined because of a decrease of 264,000 in the labor force. Outside of the Covid era, the participation rate is at its lowest since the middle part of 1976.

A 2 room apartment in Seattle costs >$8000 a month, easily running $97k a year. It's the absolute minimum anyone could hope to raise a child in. You are required to make 3x rent. That's $291k to even qualify to rent. And you need a deposit, first and last month so $24k cash (- 1 month because it is part of what you pay to be there since it's the first month, $16k) which varies from a few thousands to tens of thousands depending on how far you move to get there.

$291k
(-36k rent on the cheap side) (-$97k rent for actually nice places with gyms)
-$103.95K for taxes
-$12-18k for moving in
-4% (11.64k) to 401k so you don't retire with literally nothing
$60k left.

Then you have to pay for medical Ins ($4000/Y), car payments ($7.8K/Y), car insurance ($1.6K/Y), car registration ($400/Y), rental insurance ($600/Y), internet ($960/Y), power ($2K/Y), water ($2K/Y)
-$19.36k

$40.64K-$107.6K left if you can qualify for a nice 2:2.

>Here's the problem.
An L6 Senior technical role at Amazon only pays around $256k, not 291k, such a worker cannot even consider the nicest 2:2's) and everything beyond $180k base salary is RSU's that aren't even vested entirely for 4 years. You have to rent the cheaper units. You can only afford up to the $4k 2:2 units. Get in as a senior Dev/PM/UX then you can make it work in a very modest apartment and have enough to invest some. That's more lower middle class. Owning a home is unthinkable on this income. Houses up here begin over $1M unless you live in the ghetto. You want a school zone of a 5 or higher and 3 rooms? That's $1.2M for a dilapidated fixer upper. You don't qualify for the loan.

Even if you stay in the apartment, that cannot afford a kid. In Seattle daycare per kid is around $42k. Summer care programs are over $500 a week. $250k is not the ceiling it is the floor where households earning that will struggle to pay for a single kid. Seattle is the 7th highest cost cities in the US. 6 cities are much worse.
