I know I’m probably feeding the troll here, but how is someone “entitled to live in an expensive area”? Like sure he could probably move to a cheaper city… but then they won’t have the same jobs getting the same salary. They are likely only making that much because of the area they currently live in. Sure there might be some variation from block to block or subdivision to subdivision, but in many areas in the country that isn’t enough for even the cheapest housing in the metro area.
Not to mention, that’s both of them working full time jobs. 15+ yrs ago, one salary should have been enough for a house. Now if they ever have a kid, they have to take the cost of child care into account and that’s not cheap. This leads to some of the drop in fertility we see in many places. It’s simply not financially possible.
And I feel perfectly safe, cussing, the police officer up one side and down the other for some stupid shit he did.
A black person probably wouldn’t do that, because different people have different experiences based on their lives.
You may buy your beer at Costco, the question is also how much do you drink compared to? How much does he drink.
If he is having an $11 beer every four months and you’re buying a 24 pack every weekend that’s quality versus quantity, but could very well cost the same at the end of the year

Okay, professor. What is the exact maximum people are allowed to earn and exist in high expense areas?
You think earning less than 100k is in the top earning block lmao.
They shouldn’t let people this dumb comment.
How about instead of tearing down something, you post something of substance.
How much do you earn? What do you do? How much is your rent?
And what is the maximum amount people are allowed to earn before they can criticize expensive living

What?
.
They shouldn’t have to though.
Not acknowledging that is just making the problem worse.
People should work to live not live to work, and if you can’t afford a little entertainment than you aren’t living you are barely surviving.
But there are people out there who would take what little stress relief you can get and tell you to just tighten up your belt.
You do realize that phrase comes from people having to take their food money and spend it on other necessities right?
You have to tighten your belt because you can’t even afford full meals.
