Oh, well when you put it that way, you’re right! It sure is hard to live on half a million a year!

Every apologia for the rich sounds like a call for revolution.

The more I look at this, the more enraged I become. These assholes live SO WELL and still have over $7k left at the end of the year but it’s “feeling average”? Bitch, the average person has never had $7k left over.

$10,000 for “miscellaneous, something always comes up.” 

Look, I have a “something always comes up” cushion now (it’s certainly not that much, but it exists), and am grateful because I didn’t always have that, but “something always comes up” for EVERYONE and that usually means miss work or ride the bus because you can’t afford to get your car fixed or beg and borrow money from family/friends if you’re lucky enough to have that. 

Your slush money budget alone is 20% the national median income, and you still end up with seven grand left over at the end of the year, shut the fuck up. 

3 vacations a year, at $6,000 a piece.

I love the “no fancy bags, shoes, or threads” while they’re driving a land rover and a bmw & living in a $1.5 million dollar home. 

i would like to know their definition of ‘fancy’, because no way in hell is she walking around with a nine west or anne klein bag, or that they’re going to work in clothes from target or kohls.

i’m betting their definition of not ‘fancy’ is like a $500-$700 handbag vs a $2000+ one, ralph lauren vs yves saint laurent suits.

Imagine how wonderful it would feel to have an $18,000 budget for giving to charity. And STILL afford 3 vacations a year, and STILL give your kids private music lessons,and STILL have $7000 left over for luxuries of your choice. Think of the stress gone from wondering if you’ll be able to pay for that emergency that always comes up. Imagine being able to stand making a budget of your income without crying and wondering what has to be sacrificed. I’m so happy for these people who get to feel secure, and even get to dillude themselves into thinking they’re average. I just wish they appreciated it more
