Spoke to someone making $34 an hour with a master’s degree.
That’s $5,500 a month before anything.
After taxes, health insurance, and retirement contributions they take home $3,950.
Rent is $1,850.
That leaves $2,100 for food, gas, car insurance, student loans, phone, and every single thing that goes wrong.
A master’s degree.
$34 an hour.
And they’re one unexpected bill away from a bad month.
This is what we called making it.

My mom paid off her house in 2003.
Thought that was it. Thought she was done. Thought it was finally hers.
Property taxes were $1,800 a year back then.
She’s retired now. Fixed income. Same house. Same neighborhood.
Property taxes are $24,000 a year.
That’s $2,000 a month.
On a house she already paid for.
She’s 71 years old and the government sends her a bill every year just to stay in her own home.
You never really own anything in America.
You just make payments to a different landlord.

Phone plan. Car insurance. Streaming. Cloud storage. Software subscriptions.
I pay $600 a month in subscriptions for things I used to own once.
A CD. A DVD. A map. Microsoft Office on a disc.
They figured out ownership was a one time sale.
Subscriptions are forever.
We went from buying things to renting everything.
And we barely noticed it happen.

The American version of success is working a job you hate to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like.
And if you opt out they ask what’s wrong with you

I called to cancel my health insurance last month.
The rep asked why.
I told her $480 a month with a $6,500 deductible isn’t insurance.
It’s a subscription to the illusion of being covered.
I pay $5,760 a year before they cover a single dollar of anything serious.
She went quiet.
Offered me a lower tier plan.
$390 a month. $8,000 deductible.
I hung up.

My boomer dad went to college for $500 a semester in 1974.
Got a job the same month he graduated.
Paid off his loans in 8 months.
Bought a house at 24.
Told me college was the only way.
I took out $67,000 in loans.
Graduated into a recession.
Spent 3 years applying to jobs.
I'm 29.
Still paying.
He still thinks I'm not trying hard enough
Make it make sense.

You'd need to be paid $10,000 a week to have the same spending power as a kid working at McDonald in July of 1971
The math says it's that bad now

At 20 I thought:
- The $8,000 Rolex was cool
- The $70,000 Mercedes was cool
- The giant yacht party was cool
At 35 I now realize:
- 6.25 whole Bitcoin is cooler
- Gym at 10am on a Tuesday is cooler
- Having a relationship with God is cooler
Success looks different with age.

Nobody told you that $200,000 a year would feel like survival.
Take home is $10,500 a month after taxes.
Mortgage: $3,200.
Daycare for two kids: $3,800.
Cars: $1,100.
Groceries: $900.
Insurance: $600.
That’s $9,600.
Gone.
Before a single luxury.
Before a vacation.
Before an emergency.
$200,000 a year and you’re one hospital bill away from panic.
They moved the finish line.
They just didn’t tell anyone.
