It's an argument I had with my dad and it stuck with me.

So, 78,000. The large majority of Americans are already doing this now.

Yup. Median income is $45k which is astounding. Median *household* income is $83k.

I spend that on Amazon alone each week.

I live on less than $1500/month.

PWC1 - super impressed! Keep it up!

I’ve lived off 1500/week. So I worked hard to never have to work on 1500/week. My rent is 13000/ month and I handle that comfortably.

That’s a lot of rent. More than my mortgage in CA.
