    The point is that there is something fishy going on if you make $150k and still can’t make ends meet.

    My hunch is that there is obvious excess spending on things that aren’t needed, and downsizing is the best solution. Families don’t need a $80k SUV when a sedan would do for example. Joneses be damned.

      Your 150k number continues to highlight how oblivious you are to the current state of the economy.

      1 mil… maybe that has gotten past the orphan crushing machine/boring dystopia threshold, but there is almost no physical quality of life difference between someone making 50k a year and someone making 150k a year.

      How does the old adage go?

      Mo money mo problems.
