My parents weren’t always as financially stable as they are now.
my mom used to make $60k a year when I was younger.
They type of privledged where she doesnt even realize she's rich...
I live in CA, man. Rich doesn’t mean the same thing as it does in other states.
Privledged enough to live in the rich people state tho...
I mean 60k in california isn't a lot
You could easily move that money to somewhere more affordable.
Living in California is itself a demonstration of priviledge through choosing to be somewhere that pricey. If you can't afford it you either become desperately whored to the system or are forced to leave.I could, but like NY isn't any better
It amazes me that people who live in Cali or NY only consider those two places as the single inhabitable places in the US. In Charlotte NC or Germantown MD you can own a 4 bedroom house with a huge yard in the suburbs of bustling hipster city for less than $2000 a month. Plenty of 24 hour gas stations and walmarts around. The only real "benefits" of NY or CA are the population density and subsequent consequences of that.
