    For the literalists out there, the $600 amount is actually irrelevant. The joke is that there would be an amount of money that won’t do anything truly life changing for you.

      honestly the last job I worked was 16.33 an hour and they gave me like 10-45 hours randomly every week. $600 would be a lot at that rate. quite literally.

      For real. These days you need such a large amount to feel secure in case of emergencies, and even more to buy property or save for retirement. It’s never ending.
