I was watching a podcast where they called people who make less than 150k a year literal slaves. They said to be happy and an average joe you at least need to make 300k-500k a year as a couple.

Thoughts?

I am personally set for life and don't have to be a # in the system but i want to know what you guys think (The people who sadly have to work daily to stay afloat)

nah.

to be happy is to have a family, children, fight for your country and race. be physically fit, read, go out in nature.

Are people who watch podcasts capable of earning 150k

I think it is categorically different than slavery, but it is problematic nonetheless.

set for life on the dole, I bet.

These type of people annoy me.

If it was up to me I wish we could send them to the half of the globe that lives on 5 dollars a day per person for like a year so they can learn what the real world is like.

Learn to live with less you spoiled privileged cunts. 90% of the world would be happy to make even half of 100k

I have enjoyed my life when I used to pick berries. I have enjoyed my life flipping burgers. I have enjoyed my life climbing telephone poles and wiring homes. I have enjoyed my life as a student living off scraps. I have enjoyed life working tremendous amounts of hours while articling and I enjoy it to this day.

Spending certainly scaled up but I don't look back and think now is better just because I own a ton of shit

And all that time I was still so much better off than the rest of the world. Poor bastards.

This

This is correct.

Real privilege is relating the slight inconveniences of making less than 40k a year (yes, 40k not 150k) to slavery.

Over my life I have been up and down on the economic scale and I have found that 40k is basically the break between barely making it and having a little bit extra.

And by barely making it I mean having a mortgage payment and a car payment and many other nice things. You can live just fine with much less.

Off the void pretty much nailed it.
