My brother makes $200K and his wife makes $100K. Somehow they are broke. It just doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense. They do Uber Eats for literally every meal but that can’t account for all the money, can it?
My in-laws are the country version of that. They make around 100k living in the sticks outside of a tiny town nobody outside of the area has heard of. The kind of place where you can live comfortably on a 30-40k family income with a bit of budgeting.
It all gets spent. ATVs, brand new cars, a camper, a gigantic 3k sq foot house. Heck after their very reasonable and modest house burned down they spent $3k in one go just on Christmas decorations. My mother in law is constantly getting scammed and constantly buying so much shit they don’t need nor really seem to want. My father in law will probably never be able to retire either due to the way she spends (she has been living on disability for quite a few years and now that that’s expired she’s just retired). I feel sorry for them but these are ultimately problems that they’ve made for themselves

You’d be surprised.
I knew a rich girl in college who literally ordered $40+ of sushi 2-3 times a day.
$120/day is still under $44k/year. That’s most of what I make, but it isn’t enough to cripple $300k/year of income on its own.
