Six Figures is not a lot of money
From a guy who definitely does not earn six figures
There is a British man being clowned on the internet for not knowing that earning £80,000 puts him in the top 5% of the country’s earners. To be fair, he was belligerent and outlandish in the way he (verbally) attacked one of the hosts, and that is part of why he is getting clowned. Honestly though, he may have a point.
Six figures in pre-2008 and post-Covid are completely different figures. The price of everything has gone up whilst the quality has simultaneously fallen, and this goes for all of us, even those at the higher end.
It’s really easy to see someone post on the internet how they’re earning £100,000+ and still struggling and think the same thing the global elite and corporate overlords tell us poorer folk. ‘Well just learn how to budget, you’re earning more than enough for your lifestyle’.
Avocado on toast and a Starbucks coffee, Netflix, and a Hulu Subscription, these things we could probably do without, but getting rid of them won’t improve our financial situation much, and god knows they keep us sane in this mad world of ours.
However, why is it we cannot allow that same compassion outward? Is a higher earner really a villain for asking why the government can’t make it easier or provide…
