    How the fuck do you manage to spend 139k a year? People don’t make any god damn sense.

      Oh man, it happens without you knowing it. I got caught in that once. Between my wife and I we were making close to $200k and we couldn’t survive two months without a paycheck. Mortgage, car payments, school loans, credit cards payments and taxes for start. Then you want to make yourself feel better because your job and traffic to and from work are sucking the life right out of you, so you start buying shit and decorating so you can have a sanctuary, all the while you are strengthening the chains around your neck.

      A slave with a nice car and house is still a slave. They just are less aware of it…until they want to quit and realize that they can’t.
