What’s the point of being lower middle class?

Right outside of any low income benefits and quality of life is lower. Why do I put in 40 hours a week for 36k a year which was like 30k after tax with no insurance when I can be considered low income, get subsidies, insurance, and low income housing with 15k a year

No possibility of raises/promotions?

Because nobody will pay you 40k?

That’s about half of lawyers lol. That field is more about upward mobility. Those who start 100K plus will have no lives until they’re about 45, i.e. their youth is largely gone.

Weird way to ask for a pay decrease. . . but I'm sure your employer will oblige.

You sound like a whiner

What’s the point of anything?

I feel like if I was making that amount a year I'd just pick up stakes and move to the Caribbean, SE Asia or something. I'd rather struggle in a cool location/paradise than East St. Louis or bum frick Arkansas.

Bitches have no high expectations of you. Pretty much any purchase you don't like is easily vetoed without argument.
