The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

Lmao I love how when you write it out like this it makes so much so very clear about the people on this site.

That's such an absurd level of casual wealth that the amount of leftists on here with no idea how the average person lives makes a lot of sense

If we want to talk vacation, it’s gonna be an additional $1k-2k saved a month.

Moderate grocery budget for 5 people: $1500/mo

For good measure, well add a slush fund of $2k a month

Fucking lol

That's less than $70 per person per week, which is far less than the average spend.

You can troll around and argue against what I said all you want, they're based on averages. Actual averages.

No one cares about your opinions.

You should learn the very significant difference between a median and an average if you think the average American does any of these things.
