Anybody feel like money doesn't matter anymore?

It's like pretty much everyone has 6 figure income and a net worth of hundreds of thousands. 18% of boomers are now straight up millionaires (including home equity).

Yeah I agree op. It's odd we still hold money in high regard when a lot of **** out there isn't worth buying. Throw in that a lot of people doing dumb **** get paid for it. If some whore on onlyfans or twitch gets hundreds of thousands for playing games with her tits out, I don't see the value in it and therefore the money that values it has no significance to me, either. I dunno.

All I know is I'm making more money than I need. Everything is going into investments so I won't have to work in the future. That's good, at least

Money definitely matters. Its just a piece of the happiness puzzle though. You need the other pieces to be complete.

It depends.

60% of the US is used to living paycheck to paycheck and not having any type of disposable income. Covid gave these people a taste of some semblance of financial freedom for the first time in their entire lives.

But now, those people are back to having to respect money again, and with 6.5-7% interest rates, that feeling is here to stay. Time to begin respecting money again.

Honestly, 80% of boomers should be millionaires. Anyone who saved even 5% of their salary over the past 50 years should have over $1M in their 401k.

That excludes home equity, pensions, Social Security.

poor boomers have no excuse

6 figure people are still paying mortgages, the only way to have a lot of money is a business or a successful startup

It's easy to travel or get laid with almost no money, and it's easy to work a few hours a month and make enough to survive

Money isn't really important at all anymore

Income is just a factor. Debt, liabilities, hours worked, and opportunity for growth/advancement matter a lot too.

The youngest boomer is like 60 years old so 1 million is pretty bad lol. That's like you made 50k/year and just did your 6% 401k match.

well yea but the biggest thing I bet is the home equity. Boomers bought homes 30 years ago that appreciated 400%.

18% of boomer are millionaires. lol

People online will believe anything.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Bro the average person makes like 40K a year, normies are just debtmaxxing hard to keep up with the joneses. That's why it looks like everyone is ballin on social media. The average net worth is probably a negative number in 2024.

I agree about boomers mogging tho, if you're a boomer and not a millionaire, you made some horrible choices

I feel like it's the opposite OP.

CoL is like $3k/mo for most people who live alone, including in cheaper areas. $4.5k-6k/mo if there's dependents / wife. And that's assuming there's no emergencies or crazy debt payments.

Yeah there's probably more people making 6 figures than ever, but $100k-130k ain't what it used to be. Especially considering most households blow through like $60k/yr post-tax just on CoL alone. That only leaves like $30k/yr post-tax if you make $120k and live somewhere that has ZERO state income taxes.

The value of the dollar is terrible and will keep getting worse. A single dollar barely buys anything anymore. But this is true, or worse, for all other currencies in the world as well.
