He never said anything about his wife, or if 100k is combined household income or that he lives in a really nice part of town.
As long as we are inventing circumstances, colud have an elder parent that needs a great deal of life care and medical care. Or they are otherwise trying to take care of poor relatives. Lot’s of circumstances can evaporate $100k despite very reasonable lifestyle choices.
As a coincidence, I also have some folks living on far less in the family. Their strategy is inherited housing. At least in my rural family, if not for inherited land they would be screwed. If they didn’t directly inherit land, they find a vaguely viable trailer and have it towed onto a cousin’s land and plug into their power, well, and septic. For one of the poorer cousins, their strategy for child rearing was “dump their kids on the wealthy cousin” (thankfully not me).
I just don’t think lamenting that a reasonably modest house for a family and indpendent living burns through $100k is “performative bullshit”.
wow so you’re saying that it would take some other astronomical expense to make $100k a year “barely scraping by.” Gotchu, so we’re on the same page!
coming on here and crying about only making $100k a year and you want me to feel sorry for him? Oh my bad, I didn’t realize this was absurd request day. Lemme just spare some mental energy and empathy for the poor soul barely scraping by on $100k a year salary 🙄 👍
