I remember a white kid in my class talking about how his parents made 320k combined and they still “struggle” and thinking to myself: “It’s probably because they don’t know how to manage their fucking money and live above their means, but sure, just pretend it’s not their fault”
A few minutes later, he mentions that they vacation 3 times a year, own 3 cars, and spend $1000 a week (A WEEK) on food.
Long story short, I refuse to feel sorry for any of you upper-middle class folk that pretend you’re struggling financially too when you just have no sort of financial management skills.
I remember reading about a couple who were both dentists and said they were living “paycheck to paycheck” but spent 10k a month.
tbh no matter how rich i get… i don’t know how i could ever spend 10k a month… like how.
Living above your means
