It’s all good, your third reply was actually the 14th post on the very bottom of this pile, sorry that we wasted each other’s time. Unfortunately there is nothing new about the fact that people living in functioning social democracies surrounded by wealthy neighbors can actually downsize without risking their children’s education, or healthcare.

TIL I’ve spent my 30s struggling and didn’t notice it.

My problem?

…and I live in Denmark (or some other country where people don’t default on medical debt).

This thread is wild.

yup. many people don’t understand that while salaries are lower in the EU, your taxes cover actually life-changing governmental services the US doesn’t. (i personally know both perspectives)

I don’t know why you’re looking to argue about it but I’m not interested. I simply stated that where I live 100k a year would take you so much further than it does in the US.

it took you 5 posts to tell us you’re not in the US. it’s simply impossible to interpret your takes without context. you’d need twice as much money in the US to have a comparable lifestyle.

but it’s misleading through and through. what’s the median household income where you live?

5 room house I rented

as a single, barely surviving?

“Barely surviving” as a single on $150K is a little too much even for SF critters.

Why do I need to ask that? I know it’s expensive.

Because what you’re stating about your budget doesn’t take into consideration the social safety you’re leveraging that americans have to allocate additional budget for (or risk the consequences).

okay. €. Here’s the catch. ask the americans what they pay for health insurance and childcare…

Can’t wait to see his reaction when robotaxis will get Wile E. Coyoted.

*elicit (though the way he does it is definitely illicit)

people can make social media accounts full of soft core rat erotica just for travel purposes.

My favorite bullshit from the MAGAs had been “this is not a democracy, it’s a republic”.

It used to be both, now it aspires to be neither.
