your premise is absurd, that's all I'm saying

To be fair, Id probably justify my actions at whatever the cost if I wasnt a stones throw from skid row

But the argument here isnt about what kind of lifestyle 40k can afford, its about the salary itself not being worth for the people who are able to obtain it. People who work NO harder than anyone else in the world, yet still bitch and moan when they can drive themselves to work, or afford their own place. Its sickening.

You brought up how hard people work, pretty massive assumption.

I was making about 30k a year working for the moving industry. The moving industry constantly fucks people over when shit gets broken or lost, pretty corrupt. Since I wasn't making more than 40k a year, that means its ok for me to work for a corrupt industry, correct?

No, you are being exploited in order to survive. Its beautiful and sad

I get what you're saying but 40k/year? That's not the right number. That's less than $20 an hour before taxes, barely a living wage in a lot of places. Try buying a home working for $20 an hour. Not gonna happen.

Fair enough, but you guys should know by now my threads need a tad of "shock value" in order to really spark some conversation.

think about how much 40k a year is. if you live in an apartment for 400 a month, and spend lets say 100 a month on food, and didn't have to pay any insurance, you would basically be rich as fuck. there's no reason in my eyes why more people can't be living that way.

Because not everyone is a 19 year old kid content on living off mr.noodles and internet porn

Or maybe not everyone needs a fucking three bedroom house and a luxury car to be satisfied. Ever think about that

I make $60k a year and break my own back to make it happen, maybe you're just too unskilled and uneducated to earn a decent living.
