- malvosenior 7y agoYes, most people make just enough money to survive.
- jdnenej 7y agoDo they really? It seems that most people have enough money that they can afford expensive phones regularly and to drive cars. They amount of luxury people consider the bare minimum to survive is quite high now.
- malvosenior 7y agoYou can look at employment statistics yourself and see that most people barely make any money at all.
- pc86 7y agoMost people here (HN) overspend to a ridiculous degree and pretend that $200k/yr cash comp "isn't that much." Most people in the US live paycheck to paycheck and make price-sensitive decisions on things like food and rent.
