- Moodles 5y agoYou sound more out of touch than an alien from outer space. No way is 150k worse quality of life than a janitor 50 years ago.
- Der_Einzige 5y agoMany janitors are unionized and paid quite well. I think you're the out of touch one here.

- TheTrotters 5y ago> Janitors had better living conditions 50 years ago than $150k earners do today This is just batshit crazy.
- dudeman13 5y ago>Janitors had better living conditions 50 years ago than $150k earners do today Utter bullshit. >$150k is not even enough to buy a small home near your workplace in a lot of cities Live within your means for 5 years, invest the 70k/y excess money into index funds. You can live of dividends anywhere in the world that isn't a capital in a first world country. Without even losing money. Literally the 1% pretending to be poor and living in worse conditions that janitors 50 years ago. Yeah, right.
- whimsicalism 5y agoIt's utterly amazing to me how far up the wealth pyramid you can go and find people saying "Me? No, no, no, I'm not wealthy - it's the people above me who are the wealthy ones." Perhaps it stops at like $500k/yr?
- DC1350 5y ago> Perhaps it stops at like $500k/yr? It stops once somebody’s net worth is already so high that their annual income is irrelevant. Those are the real wealthy people.
