Similarly, if you make only $2M/yr and live in a golden penthouse in downtown Manhattan, you’re barely scraping by. Why doesn’t anyone think of these poor souls

- nly 5y agoHis comment seems fair. This random website[0] says the average US living cost for a family of 4 is about $55K/yr. I don't know what $130K after taxes is, but if I take a wild guess and say $85K, that leaves around $30K for savings and investments. Single income living isn't easy in western society.
