But it would affect you, just longer-term than shorter-term. You don’t know what things will be like when you’re old, which is why most people who can do put the max amount in their IRAs, 401Ks, and HSAs. That doesn’t mean they’re bad people or misspending their money or not living paycheck-to-paycheck.
If you suffer in your old age because you had to cut back on retirement, that’s a huge impact on your life. It’s way easier to live paycheck-to-paycheck when you still can work than it is when you literally cannot and are relying on Society Security or retirement investments. I think that matters.
I’m poor as fuck, but I don’t feel like I need to judge people who barely make more money than me in the context of fucking billionaires.
Also, do you have kids, because that’s a huge impact on the bottom-line of people who make a decent salary.
Well your certainly buried your point at the end of your tirade. Sounds like you just want to argue with people on the internet that making 150k isn’t a livable salary for a person in this day and age. There’s a lot of nuance and factors to consider. Like children and life situations. People making 50k also have to deal with those same issues - and it sounds like you’re one of them. I feel bad for anyone living paycheck to paycheck because of their circumstances but at the end of the day this is life under modern capitalism.

So have some class solidarity for fucks sake then. If you think people making $150k are the people who are the problem in this society, I think you’re the one wildly out of touch.
The average CEO salary in the US is $832,576 right now, and they don’t actually fucking work.
I don’t think $150k wage people are the problem at all and never said that. Overpaid CEOs and corporations are wildly disgusting and the root of a lot our problems so I guess I’m not sure what we’re arguing about.

Only furry ones with four paws. And the cost of raising kids is a not insignificant factor in that decision.
Exactly my point.
