I think some people want too much. 80k, you are still taxed to around 60k. So even with 60k, you should be somewhat comfortable. I think the poverty line is 36k?

Yes, it's largely an expectation that 25 y/o have - "I went to school, I got a job, now I should be able to buy a house, car, doggy daycare, 2x daily coffee, doordash every dinner, etc..."
The world is not fair.
But it is easier than ever to get to the top %.
There is no competition.

Its easy to make money, but the people who make money dont save and accumulate wealth. That is the problem with the education people have. People havent been educated enough into understanding finances.
