    I don’t need to be told I’m not rich. I can’t afford my groceries every week. And I’m single, and I certainly don’t make $100,000 a year or anything close to it.

    I also don’t need to be told “how it works“. Because I’m living in a system that’s beating me to death every week when I can’t afford to live.

    And I know plenty of people who make around $100,000 a year and still can barely afford to pay their mortgage, afford to feed their families, etc. So don’t tell me “how it works” when you clearly don’t understand it yourself. And you sure as fuck don’t know a goddamn thing about my life.

    The arrogance of some random Internet stranger, trying to tell me how my own life works… Wow

      I didn’t say anything about your life. Where did you get that idea? Frankly, I don’t care about your life. I didn’t call you poor. I didn’t call your friends poor, etc… All I said is that depending on where you live, $100k can be a comfortable life but it’s no where near rich. I don’t know why you got so defensive.

        If you’re gonna make a strawman argument, don’t be so transparent about it.

        And if you’re gonna so brazenly lie and claim, I said a bunch of things I didn’t, don’t do it when anyone can just go back and see what I wrote.

        Why am I so defensive? That’s why.

        Wow, again

        edit: oh, and if you really don’t care about me, prove it by not replying, unless that was also a lie…

          Again, what are you talking about? What strawman? What specifically did I claim? You’re reading things I didn’t write apparently. And you prove it with your last sentence. I said I didn’t care about your life, not that I didn’t care about you or even that I didn’t care that you apparently have atrocious reading comprehension. Point out a specific strawman or lie.
