I disagree. EVERYONE should be able to afford basic necessities (housing, food, car, clothing, heating, electricity, water, internet, medical care) with cash.
> 850k/yr (1M/yr minus apples cut)
The government steals close to 50% of that 1M. More than 50% if you're self employed. You aren't left with anything close to 850k.
- Kirby64 3y agoI don’t know what world you’re living in, but even if the government “steals” 50% of your 850k you’re not living like any sort of pauper on 425k net. That’s just ridiculous.
- ericd 3y agoI'd just like to point out that you're talking about the most expensive form of housing in the most expensive pockets of one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, with the highest tax rates. This is not representative, to put it mildly.
