Did you skip basic math classes? Or your parents still pay all your expenses?
Even with 20k bring home salary (which means you have been around a bit, possibly having family, mortgage, other investments, have hobbies that are a bit above just breathing air costs, teavel etc) you are saving just a fraction of that.
For some the fraction is really tiny, for some a bit bigger. 40k (just raw amount, untaxed) can be a year's worth of actual savings easily, even with good job.
Kudos to OP, bits like this keep my faith in humanity.
- rhacker 4y agoyeah that's what I was thinking. If 40k landed in my lap, my current income and burn rate being what it is, I would easily finish all my walls on my house and roof.
- darth_avocado 4y agoAssuming 40k is worth two months salary, the actual amount you'd end up getting will be closer to 20 something. It's all about perspective. 20k is a lot for someone making 100k/year or less. 20k is not a lot for someone who works for Big Tech and pulls in a lot more.
