    Better headline: some Americans with six-figure incomes are incompetent at managing their finances.

      My brother makes $200K and his wife makes $100K. Somehow they are broke. It just doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense. They do Uber Eats for literally every meal but that can’t account for all the money, can it?

        You’d be surprised.

        I knew a rich girl in college who literally ordered $40+ of sushi 2-3 times a day.

      💯

      Outside of some very, very expensive areas (where you aren’t required to live) six figures is still very adequate to live, especially if it’s got a little distance from 100k exactly.
