re: Poll: Six-figure earners feel they’re in ‘survival mode’

My actual expenses every month, not including unexpected stuff, is close to $7K. Combined my wife and I make less than $150K gross. So there's not much wiggle room for any additional savings outside of retirement funds. I've picked up a second job just to try and enable us to have some savings. It's absolutely rough out here.

Your opinion is clouded.

Maybe so. My frugal ways do still influence me even though I don’t have to. So, good point.

Well go! Spend your money on this type of thing. No telling what other dumb shite you’ve spent your money on. Go eat cat food in old age. I don’t give a frick.

The truth, most Southerners are 2-3 generations from being dirt farmers. Most of us grew up in modest surroundings.
Growing up "poor" or in a modest environment is a blessing for people with drive and initiative.

When I was a kid, our only ‘vacation’ was going to see my grandma in Texas. My husband grew up alternating between going to Disney World one year and then the country where his mother was from the next.
Of course his mom always complained they didn’t have money when my husband was young - but I don’t find they had a bad lifestyle.

Well people keep paying the ticket prices so they keep charging more and more. They gotta pay those ever inflated salaries. You’re paying for that shite. Not me.

What is it for people with no drive or initiative that end up being alcoholics that don’t hold steady employment and leave their family?
