    yeah but is your income going to go up? or are you like 50 and it’s maxxed out?

    context is everything. if you’re 25 and your salary will double in 5-10 years your situation isn’t bad.

    blows my mind in my city how many 22-25 year olds scream how poor they are when they are just starting out their lives and think their 50-60K wage is ‘poverty’ when it will be 100K in 5 years.

      I get what you’re saying but some people 22-25 are still hoping to start a family or buy a house.
