I fucking hate (and envy) Americans think about money. They make it look like 30k a year is fucking dogshit, but they've been brainwashed into endless retarded consumerism. 30k USD is ~5.2 years of minimal salary where I live (Hungary) (480$/month its net tho). I know that it's gross and income tax is 10-40% (what i know). but it's still fucking wierd, that's a lot of money.
Now, i understand that living is somewhat more expensive, but it's not like they're being bullied into buying shit left and right. I just don't get it, how can you live on so much money and think that it's bad.

Educate me please. I see a lot of lavis lifestyle and big streets, needlessly big homes but most of them are not theirs but the banks right? I mean making that much money with some self dicipline you should be able to save money even by that standard. To me, it's unfathomable that there are people that don't make meets end at 100k a year.

I'm 22 btw.

ps.: I think i need to say this even tho it's reatarded. I've nothing against you if you're american, i just think it's bonkers that in the USA people make INSANE amounts of money and still think that it's bad. Here if you make 4$ an hour you're making really good money
