Why do you make all of these threads about income, salaries and taxes when you don’t work?

Are you justifying your decision to be broke and unemployed?

I'm about as pro-MAGA as it gets but thats B.S. There are too many multimillionaires and billionaires in this country for the AVERAGE to be that low. Maybe the median income, sure as hell no the AVERAGE. You used a poor source.

$100K a year still feels broke because inflation.

I've been seeing a ton about economics/financial realities lately on instagram and YouTube. All the comparisons from back then to now in terms of salary, housing, assets etc.

Although they are correct in their research and I make these points all the time as well when dealing with your typical boomer making retarded comments, I am at the point where even I'm getting annoyed with everyone constantly complaining about this.

It's entirely one thing to notice the issues and show what's going on, but at a certain point I just have to ask....ok now what? If people are bringing this up for conversation of how to fix this, what to do, how to handle the issues, and whatever else....then that's completely fine. But most people now talk about this and are just looking for blame and to complain with zero discussion of solutions, goals, ideas or how to take back control of their finances and worldview to mitigate risk to these realities.

Imagine if I only complained about student loans and having debt while never even attempting to actually pay it off. I would still be in debt. I didn't just complain though so I took action to what I was complaining about.

As much as this economy sucks balls, we aren't doomed. You have to live in this world, but you don't have to life of it.

Pretty damning. Its crazy that people still are just kind of accepting this, although more people are checking out it seems

total compensation (things you include aside from wages/salary like healthcare, 401k, etc) is at or near the highest it's ever been

that's why these types of comparisons are retarded

I knew that average incomes weren't keeping up with inflation.

But holy chit I didn't know it was that bad lol. The average 2022 USA income is $56k/yr, so the fact we'd want the average to be $95k/yr just to match the great depression is striking. And then that follow up about tax rates being only 8% back then wtf. Maybe it should be closer to like $120k+ then.

Paints the picture that we're in some kind of dystopia right now. But we're not panicking or rioting over it because we have distractions enabled via technology and drugs to sedate us.

Use median (not average) wage per person (no per household statistics) and use an average/median inflation number (Not the spike we are currently in) and report back

Average American is far better off in 2023 then during the great depression.


There are tons of places hiring. But people are lazy/****ty employees and don't want to work.

Hurr durr everything is expensive but I have an iphone, a macbook, a flat screen TV, obese as fukk because too much food. Etc.

Life in America is too freaking easy as long as you aren't lazy or retarded.
