    "i had a guy with 2 kids tell me recently "i cant believe i'm making 100k a year and struggling". everything in his life is budgeted down to the last dollar to get through the month.

    if thats someone on 100k, what would it be like for the majority who get 60k or less?"

    kids cost money
    what's the bet he has mortgage
    also I wonder what other debts he may have

    it smacks of extravagence if you ask me

    might be worth reflecting on this

    the gross domestic product per capita in somalia is $670

    not sure if they are starving or what.

    but the average salary we get- $60,000- is almost 100 times what they get

    if you can't live on that something is definately wrong

    do we need cars?
    do we need to eat as much meat?

    you probably don't need these things and can live without them

    I think the only reason people are unhappy is because they feel like they are not keeping up with the Jones.
