lmfao the doordash generation 🤣
People need to talk more with their parents/grandparents and how they grew up as children. And they turned out fine.
Doesn't ofc mean one shouldn't strive for more. And ofc "comfortable" isn't just scraping by. But jfc the audacity 😂

Yeah, I'd be curious how they define "comfortable". I can tell you, where I live very few have these salaries and most seem pretty comfortable to me.

“Comfortable” is defined as the income needed to cover a 50/30/20 budget, with 50% allocated to necessities like housing and utilities, 30% to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings or investments.
The calculations for family income needed in each state were done by SmartAsset, using the cost of necessities sourced from the MIT Living Wage Calculator, last updated on Feb. 14, 2024.
