With how expensive everything is these days , it’s funny how even a six figure pharmacist salary is just not enough . Food, gasoline, rent/mortgages , etc ridiculously expensive and these chains are getting away with paying 2008 salaries . I would say 300k/year is the new $100,000. With inflation our salaries are whittled down to a worth probably of around $65k. Not much money anymore .
It’s outrageous . I live in south Florida in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area and in Miami the median income is about $35,000 a year . Majority of people make $12-$20 an hour . Rents here are over $2k a month . How they survive here I do not know . I make $120k before taxes and feel poor . I cannot imagine everyone else under my salary level . Keep it up and soon the middle class will be nonexistent .
Always aware of how inflation erodes purchasing power but in my lifetime I’ve never seen anything like this . Gasoline, rents , food, enough to drive people insane . And people still want to have children ? It’s a formula for getting yourself in debt and stressed out these days . When $120k a year is “nothing special” or $200k in New York City or SF is pretty much nothing then you know there is a problem .
Probably by walking 12 miles a day in the snow uphill both ways?
with hot potatoes in their pockets to keep their hands warm, which would later serve as their lunch
Government handouts. There's alot of em. Keep making babies, for more government $$$
I don't know. I treat a staff member at the CVS who was pissed about the raises the pharmacists got but the other staff didn't.
I'm talking about people who make much less than you. The ones that were quoted. I knew a receptionist who got so many entitlements for being a single mom with 2 babies it wasn't worth it for her to work anymore. So she doesn't. Section 8 housing, free childcare, free health insurance, not married etc
Government fosters dependency to keep them controlled. Read Alinskys Rules for Radicals.
I graduated med school in 2003 and still owe 60 g.
Our house has more than doubled in estimated listing price in the past 4 years, and my $/hr is the same as it was in 2014. It's absolutely insane.
how did you a payment that low?
Sh**. How do you do it ?5 people on $110k ? That’s rough . You must love children .
You gonna have more kids?
Interesting. Doesn't your side usually oppose these kinds of govt programs?
It’s also an interesting way of framing the issue. I guess tax deductions and PAYE benefits don’t count as paying for expenses.
They didnt have to pay $1000 phones and $50k cars lol nor did they have to pay 1/3 of their paycheck to rent or mortgage. We have so much more residual crap we pay for compared to our parents generation.
If you don’t mind me asking, how are you making 100k on investments annually with $150k annual salary? TIA
well -last year if you had 500k in investments - you would have made 100k - this year, not so much, Not sure when this person graduated, but last year my investments made close to 200k -(mostly in my retirement accounts, so never realized)
Aren't you the guy that goes into crisis every Christmas?
Christmas has been hilarious lately. These idiots are getting into planes to see other people who also got into planes...during the worst pulmonary pandemic in a hundred years. And then getting their entire extended family sick in the process. With literally hundreds of thousands of fatalities. For what? Some fake sky man that demands your praise?
I love you
