I felt pathetic making $59k. How do people do it?

Still can't believe i managed to job hop and increase my income over 40% vs taking 3% raises. I feel like an adult now. Wageslaving sucks, but I'm just grateful for this opportunity. Hopefully i can job hop in another 2 years.

I still want to hit $200k salary, but that's going to take some real research.

Is that per month? It's decent, you can probably live a comfortable modest life

If you are not a relentless consooomer that is a very livable salary.

Very livable how?

$59k is good if you live in a small rural area.

I mean, you gotta get a hold of your addictions.

Everyone always searching for the next dopamine rush.

Be bored. It is free.
