Geez. From $300k/year to that?

What was he doing that he made that much?

TNT

He is a medical professional.

Just like a GP or something?

Money makes people stupid. It sucks. But it's reality.

I like the quote that I think Warren Buffet said “money usually ends up

I don't buy that quote. There are a lot of good, hardworking people with low pay

Money was never intended to be a reward for service and altruism.

My slight correction: Money magnifies who you really are.

I think foreclosing is more humbling than a 90 day contract.

Great album. The Headmaster Ritual is such a great opening song.

Never heard the album. But now he wants another Western Bacon Cheeseburger

TNT

Listen to the album and eat your Western during the last song. Would be funny.

Well he has to get the burger first. So hungry.....

It's actually pretty common for people that earn 200-400k a year to be in the situation where they

People that make $200 - $500K are considered middle managers? Man I’m in the

Depends on industry and location. More 200-300 than the upper end. But I've seen that in FANGs and sales a lot

CSoul

I can hardly fathom what I’d do w/ $300k the way I live. I’d save so much.

No kidding. But also TNT would purchase all optical discs known to man. Or woman

And then rip them to his Plex server, right?

For one, you pay a lot more taxes. Depending on the state, you could pay as

Of course. Hadn't thought of that.

Spending typically behaves like a gas - it expands to fill all available volume

I think there are probably a lot more people that struggle more than they let on

Poor people drive insane vehicles. It's crazy

You should know, right? I imagine you in one of two vehicles.

He drives something like this

TNT

Apr 25, 9:10am

Nice! A little bit of a souped up Metro. Love it.

Sparkling Delirium

Apr 25, 9:11am

So can you really call it struggling?

kccougar

Apr 25, 9:11am

He probably should have said lower incomes and drive nice vehicles

TNT

Apr 25, 9:12am

So is the guy that earns $50k but drives an $85k truck struggling? Those are pretty nice trucks.

kccougar

You would think. But TNT doesn't understand a lot. Thanks BYU admissions!

Its really interesting to see how different people are.

Have a friend who has consistently been paid 150-200K in various tech jobs. His last position was a WFH one.

I’m surprised he did that well on $300k per year. He should probably bk now

Frankly I have no pity on a guy like that. Everybody's stressed, many people hate their jobs, not everybody earns $300K
