      Let’s cut through the bullshit. They’re trying to equate their six figure salary to 30k. They’re trying to leverage social media to validate their mental gymnastics.

      It happens far too often. Especially on reddit. Whether they get affirmations or refutations they use either response to further cement their position. They love nothing more than to have some poor to try to refute them so they can be condescending to the lowly poors about how financially illiterate they are. And it gives them an opening to further contort their argument out loud about how they make so much money yet are as poor as those with the lowest income. In other words it’s out of touch rich people shit.

      This kind of comment chain happens so much it’s basically scripted.
