Yeah, it's like that bad house guest that will never leave, lol.

Dogmatic and completely illogical is all I can say about the logic defending this ridiculous study.

Sure, a big chunk goes to a 401k, a smaller chunk to savings, and i have monthly payments for season tix for sports and skiing, and i have to eat, but it’s hard eating out 5 nights a week when you live pay-2-pay, so i only do it 4 times a week. Plus, i have to pay all my adult hockey league fees, along with new equipment every year or so. That’s still paycheck to paycheck, right?
Lol

Perhaps what makes me a tad different than partisans, is that I have never attributed or blamed a POTUS, any POTUS , or party for the good, bad and ugly in my own life. My self esteem is not dependent on who sits the oval.
It has nothing to do with self-esteem but rather do the people we elect to serve us actually make our lives better by the policies they enact? Or worse? If your life isn't affected by who is in charge, what is the point of even having them? I applaud your independence, but we are all affected in some way by who is sitting in the oval office.

And if course, there's different ways to react to who is sitting in the oval office. We can whine about on it on forums like this (completely unproductive) or we deal with things within our control and not dwell on negativity....

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

There are a myriad of posters on this site that could heed this advice.

Told you all that if you are middle income earners, the Democrats were gunning for your wallets but you suburban folks thought you were immune to their policies and thought it was more important to virtue signal your liberalism to your friends and neighbors.

You get what you voted for.
bingo

In my state, the minimum wage is $13, so 100k is less than 4x minimum wage, both calculated on a full-time, 2,080 hour/year basis.


Big Deal. Not.
