Assuming you don’t pay for health insurance and can retire at 50 with full pension? My buddy does this and I’m trying to figure out if he has it made.

It’s good enough to live a fairly comfortable life. Can afford to be in a decent area, take trips w family, save a good chunk of your salary.

If you add in a pension this is a great spot to be in

My buddy is a firefighter and does this. Has a hot wife and a nice house. I’m confused how the fuck we got pushed into law. And only reason he retires at 50 and not like 40 is because he was an accountant and quit lol.

His wife is SAHM and it’s an expensive area. They have 4 kids. How the fuck is this possible? Maybe the “1 kid” limit thing is Internet incel talk?

in ug i did the phones at a small pizza place, sometimes (like 1 time every 4 months) id get a horny af older sounding woman begging me to deliver the pizza, id sadly have to explain that im just the phone guy

not even sure how they decided i was good enough to fuck just based on my voice, because they werent interested in most of the delivery guys (one delivery guy was a chad who drove a motorcycle)

That's basically it. Totally self inflicted. It's embarrassing how much we spend. I hide it from coworkers and family.

It's a structure for parents that are too lazy to impose discipline through traditional routes on crap like screen time (which is cheap and plentiful).

Contrast with...My grandfather wasn't allowed to play football because it interfered with his chores on the farm. My great grandfather found out he was playing and drug him off the field to go milk cows.

Yes outside of coastal urban areas, where it couldn’t afford a shitbox. But it’s subject to severe lifestyle erosion as real inflation is like 15-20%

The middle class is dead

its okay for LMC

so i guess public schools for ur kids in a school system listed as "A" but the is is buffed by being "diverse" and a 2000sqft house where ur neighbors are either newly LMC like you or have been in the neighborhood for years and paid 1/10th of what you paid are are proles or dangerous, etc etc

Most non Asians care about “public schools” and most kids in suburbs go to public school.
