Considering more than 75% of people don’t make 100k, I’d wonder how informed your statement is

funny

As per the article, at least 75 of them exists

You just read the headlines don’t you ?

For almost any metro area, 100k for a family of 4+ isn't enough nowadays unless you got into a house years ago.

$100k is still plenty for an individual assuming:
1. No city/state income tax
2. No kids or incessant spending (e.g. luxury cars or items)
3. No pressure to buy a home in the short term (<5 years)

Assuming all of the above, the disposable income and savings is still pretty good.

This is my reality and my wife and I have been able to save tremendously in Florida. Together we have been more liquid than ever. It feels a bit like freedom to not have those major expenses. We own our cars, we are about $60k away from owning the house (a modest 2bed/2bath home with a mortgage of less than $700 monthly), and we are natural hermits (home bodies). The secret is to learn to live on little where possible.

I don't think I know anyone making under 100k. Even the youngest lowest paid guy on my team is $120k

Well, I'm guessing a $100,000 would go pretty far in some of those southern cities in Mississippi or Alabama or something

A coworker (diff depts) and I realized we live in the same neighborhood after running into each other on the street. We started talking more in the office and he ended one convo with “we should get drinks sometime”. I gave him my number via slack and said to hit me up when he wants to get together. Hadn’t heard from him in a couple weeks then connected him to my friend who works for a company he’s trying to sell to. Then he asked if I’d set him up with my friend :( think I have any chance?

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
