Chizzy--$25,000 is $12/hour. You can make almost $25,000 per year at IN-N-OUT flipping burgers. If you AND YOUR SPOUSE are both flipping burgers at In-N-Out, I'm not saying your lazy, I'm saying you'd better be 19. Because if you're 50, then there's obviously some OTHER dynamic at play thats caused your lot in life, and 98% of the time, it's self-generated.Chizzang wrote:I find this attitude ^ fascinating... it is simply stuffed with self conceit and judgmentAZGrizFan wrote:
a) If they make $50k TOGETHER, then they are two highly unmotivated individuals
b) If they make $50k together, they get every dime back in taxes they paid.
c) If they make $50k together AND they live in California, then they must be on welfare, because it's damned tough to make only $25k in that state
d) There are many, many, MANY jobs out there that cover the cost of employees health insurance. If they don't have that at their employer(s) they should look elsewhere. It ain't that hard to replace $25k income.
e) If they make $50k together, they'd better be about 20-23 years old. If not, I have very little sympathy for them and they (and their behaviors/actions) growing up probably are the root cause of why they're making so little now.
How do we know the circumstances of every couple in America making $50K ..?
Without question a percentage of them are under achievers - no doubt
But to throw a garbage can lid over millions of Americans as just lazy crappy bottom feeders...!!!
WOW!
I've been incredibly lucky in my life and had so many opportunities to succeed
I hope I never get to the place where I simply dehumanize a huge percentage of the population like AZ
Everybody below this line is LAZY
You make your own luck, in large part. Or don't. As evidenced by those couples making $50k or less combined.
One other thing: I guaranTEE that a couple, begging on the side of the road, makes way more than $50k/year, and it's all tax free. It's a beautiful world we live in.
