eileenhutchinson+FollowWhy's it so hard to hit $200k?Okay, let’s just put it out there—gettin' over the $200k mark feels like chasing a freakin' unicorn unless you're knee-deep in the usual suspects: tech, medicine, or running your own gig. It's like the universe set this invisible glass ceiling for the rest of us mere mortals. I mean, is this really the world we're living in? Where busting your ass just ain't enough? I've got friends breakin' their backs, workin' multiple jobs, and still barely makin' ends meet. And yeah, don't even get me started on student loans and rent prices makin' life feel like one big Sisyphean task. Like, come on, does anyone else feel like they're in some kinda video game where the boss level is elusive financial freedom? #AverageIncomeStruggles #LifeIsntCheap #GlassCeilingFeels1816Share
Nathaniel Fischer+FollowRethinking the American DreamI swear the older I get, the more I realize that the so-called 'American Dream' isn't even remotely achievable on an average income. Seriously, buying a home? Feels like a fantasy. Vacation? Doubt it. Hell, even the simplest joys feel like luxuries now. My paycheck seems to disappear faster than I can blink. How is anyone supposed to save? Or plan for the future? It's frustrating. Feels like we're all stuck in this endless cycle of work, sleep, repeat—but for what, really? At this point, I'm just trying to make it month to month, and quite honestly, it makes me wonder if this is all really worth it. Anyone else feel this way? #AverageIncomeStruggles #CostOfLiving #MillennialMoney84Share
