My buddy & his wife live in a big city in the upper mid-west. He & his wife had a combined income of like $160K - $180K and he confided in me while going thru the divorce that they were broke and living paycheck-to-paycheck.

the reason you fight to the death over who gets to print and issue your currency, is because if you don't, if you won't your sons and daughters, greart great great grandsons and daughters, are gonna be suckin THEIR dicks every day of their lives if you don't

that's what they want from Nick Sandman. they want his submission. they want to rape him. even worse they want him to cook and clean for them, mow their lawns, make their sandwiches

OP is correct in a sense.

Just like minimum wage, there should be a maximum wage


You all pretend to care about humanity and pretend to care to hate the Zionists that are destroying this world, but the Zionists are JUST THAT, THE MOST RICH AND POWERFUL PEOPLE in the whole world.

Money brings evil and that is a very old saying that will NEVER be wrong.

Society needs to create a system where nobody can cheat and become super rich and super powerful.

This is why we are in this situation today

Save it for early retirement?

Not everyone wants to spend their entire life working. That just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

Depends on how and where you live.

Living in NYC and needing a housekeeper, a cook, and a gardener to care for a large home plus add in a couple of kids and you need a nanny to care for the kids when Mom and Dad are out pulling in the dollars.

Private Schools can run $50k per year per child in major metro areas. And in some of those areas, private schools are a necessity if you don’t want your 12 year old daughter raped and pregnant or on drugs, or both.

Re: why does anyone need more than $300,000 a year?
It depends upon WHERE YOU LIVE.

If you make $200k and live in NYC remember taxes are going to take 40% of that off the top. If you then need to live in Manhattan because of work etc., a basic 1 BR apt is going to run you a minimum of $7k per month (nice one about 12k to 15k per month) ... so your disposable income is now down to $36k after taxes and rent.

Have a kid? Good luck coming up with the minimum of $3k/mo for the tuition to a so-so school with only 36k left to spend if you don't want your kids bussed up to Harlem or to the Bronx for school (so as to "equalize" Blacks and Whites in the classrooms).

If you then want to keep a car in the city anywhere close to you then you better budget another 1k per month minimum or so (many people keep cars OUT of the city, or in one of the outer Boroughs but then need to take public transit for 30 to 60 minutes to get to their car at a cost of $500 to $700/mo).

200k is a GREAT income in much of the country ... but get to certain places and that only gives you a LOWER middle class income. (remember NY City cops, say a detective withOUT overtime, who lives WAY out where it is cheaper, not in Manhattan, has a BASE income of about $120k per year - before overtime and bennies. Add in overtime and their pay jumps to the high 100's for many if not most. Then add in their retirement ... and they are doing exceptionally WELL compared to those of us in "fly over country")

Have a wife who is a teacher with 20 years experience and a Master's degree, just a classroom working teacher, and the combined cop/teacher family income (in NYC) is going to be north of $300k per year.

I think people need what ever they earn, and not a penny more, or less. If you earn it, you should be allowed to keep it. If you don't earn it, you do not need, or deserve it. The disabled should be taken care of by charities, not the government. Taking money from those that earn it to give to those that did not, is not charity, it's theft.

Re: why does anyone need more than $300,000 a year?
Well, if you live in states with a income tax then you will pay close to $100,000 of that in tax.
Married with children in school? Private school because you local school district is shit? $30,000
Property taxes on your house $15,000

Let’s see now we are down to $155,000 and you still have to pay your mortgage, buy groceries, and put some money into a savings account so you don’t have to work until your 80 just to eat and pay your property taxes.

Oh, and maybe after you pay the sales taxes on all your purchases, you’ll have enough money left over to take a once a year family vacation.

If you run a retirement calculator, you would see that it’s almost impossible to invest enough with $300,000 in income to retire until you are 70 and that’s IF you continue to make $300,000 a year until you are well into your 50’s. Good luck.

why do you concern yourself with other peoples money?

You only harm youself in doing so.

All you need to know about their money is IT ISN'T YOURS!

If somebody makes a billion dollars a minute...God bless them! I hope they make 2 billion a minute tomorrow.

- thou shalt not covet thy neighbors goods!
 Quoting: Mental Case


You took the words right out of my mouth. What other people do with their money is between them and God.

I can think of a lot of things to do with more than $300K a year. Maybe you own a corporation producing a product that you believe in and want to expand that company, open more branches, hire more workers, produce a wider product line.

Maybe you want to put that money into research or philanthropy. Or maybe you just want to spend it on yourself and your family, making your dreams come true. You only live once.

I do know that limiting the extent one can prosper also limits innovation. There's little incentive to achieve if you can't reap the rewards of your work. There's also no incentive to take risks if those risks can't pay off well enough to justify taking them. Most of the greatest advances were the result of risky ventures.

However, too many with great wealth use the power their wealth brings them to do evil.
It is not their money that needs to be taken, it is the power they weild that needs to be curtailed.

how much money do you actually really need to do all the things in life ?

next year you have enough money to pay for all your kids schooling.

year after that , enough for your cars, yacht, rv.

another year and you have enough to travel all you want

 Quoting: seekinginformation


This is true. Envy societies produce nothing but poverty. In these societies, no one can get ahead without everyone grabbing them and dragging them down.

I've seen this especially in Sub-Saharan African nations where I used to work. Everyone is required by their peers to live at a subsistence level there (unless they're in government, then it's ok).

Anyone who tries to get ahead is subjected to murderous hatred, plots to steal from them, even kill them. Then as soon as something goes wrong, like a drought, they've got no surplus to see them through it. Their own envy ends up killing them every single time.
