I am constantly surprised at people's inability to imagine that other people lives are different than thier own.
Just because real estate is expensive in the center of a big city doesn't mean it's impossible to buy a house anywhere in the entire country.
Just because you can't support yourself as a writer doesn't mean nobody can support themselves no matter what.
Just because you got free money from your parents doesn't mean everyone gets lots of free money from thier parents.
- the_gastropod 8y agoYes! This. People get a really distorted view of reality, hanging around people earning 6 figure salaries, spending 90+% of them. Even in major cities, the median salaries are typically in the ~$50k range, and people do live and raise kids just fine. Instead of wondering how they do that, people tend to just throw up their hands, and declare it's impossible.
