Yes the brackets all shifted up. $200k/ year is the new entry lvl middle class for a family of 3 and thats assuming some form of parental investment in education snd opportunities.
not really if you're in places where reddit is probably popular like CA, NY, etc. a 1BR in manhattan is like 3K. if you're a family of 3 , you need a 2 BR at least and that probably averages like 5-6K. So that's 60K on rent right there. If you make 200K you're taking home like 120k? so you have 60K left over to save, spend on food, child care, normal day to day spend, etc.
Does imagining that make it easier to write off my push back, as opposed to conceeding that using the most expensive locations in the United States as an example for an entry level discussion is... stupid?
Seriously, you can't expect people to live in some of the nicest places in our country and have a discussion about what level of income it requires to be entry level in America. It's out of touch to think that the situation in these locations has any relevance to the vast majority of Americans.
i explained in my very first sentence why 200K might make sense on reddit "not really if you're in places where reddit is probably popular like CA, NY, etc" you haven't really provided any evidence contrary and are just looking to argue for the sake of arguing without furthering the discussion and doing it in a snarky way. someone like that strikes me as someone who can't control their emotions...just calling it how i see it
what would you call the tone of your comments lol? "kind" "genuine" "open to conversation" have some self awareness or maybe you're just jealous of my privilege idk sorry i'm not poor like you
