But tons of folks working high-paying jobs don't manage to establish a lifestyle like the Frugalwoods. There's a reason phrases like "keeping up with the Joneses" exist. It's how you end up with "out-of-touch" articles about how a $250k annual income is barely middle-class in NYC or the Bay Area.
Can't we focus on the message instead of the messenger? Or stop assuming that the message is for Millennials alone?
- duxup 9y agoI think there is a legit reason to include the messenger and the message if you think the messenger's advantages are what make the suggestions in the message possible....
- jogjayr 9y agoThere are many people who have the same advantages as the Frugalwoods (education, high-paying jobs) but not the same lifestyle outcomes. Are we going to criticize them for pointing this fact out by showing their own example?
