what if I'm trying to save 75% of my income? $20k is very significant when I'm working with 62.5k a year.

  Don’t really see what the purpose of the money is. You could be spending 75% on hookers and blow and it doesn’t change things. The point is that your basic needs are well being exceeded at even like 80k, at which point you’re already in the top 5-10%. It’s obnoxious and greedy to be concerned about such low amounts of money when you’re making $250k, in the top 1% and have so many more opportunities than other people.

    >It’s obnoxious and greedy to be concerned about such low amounts of money It's obnoxious and a greedy for you to feel like you have some right to say what somebody else should do with their hard-earned money.

      Do you oppose progressive taxes as well? It's a simple problem of who has the strongest ability to contribute to pay for the things we all need to keep our society growing. Bitching and moaning about having to pay $20k when you have 250k and are in the top 1% of wealth in society is unseemly.

        $20k is about what someone on minimum wage makes in an entire year hope this helps!
