To be fair, I barely squeak into that 20%, the cutoff being like $115,000 a year. I live in one of the most expensive places in the world, though, so most of my income goes to cost of living, womp womp. I have a roof over my head and food on my table, so I’m fine, but I’m really not doing as well as I should be all things considered. I massively sympathize for those that aren’t as fortunate as me though. The whole system is bullshit.
My wife and I together pull roughly the same. We’re basically living month to month. We’re tightening the belt, and still aren’t really able to save, always seems to be random very expensive things popping up that needs delt with immediately. Any time we get ahead a bit we get fucked with needing to replace the roof or the like. Treading water is what it feels like.

I feel this in my soul. My dog and my car gobbled up like $5,000 recently… I was planning on traveling abroad this Spring. I’m not going to be traveling abroad this Spring lol.
Democrats think the elites are the 1%. Republicans think the elites are the 20%.
YO I’m an ELITE?! Suck it, bitches!
Uuuuuuugh…so jelly!
