No debt and 80k salary? Do you have kids or live in LA or something? Sounds like plenty to me.
It’s plenty, but I have a chronic illness that my insurance won’t cover meds for (-2K each month+ another 1200 for rent + car payment + car insurance + groceries) and it’s an extremely volatile industry where the pay is based a lot on bonuses
So 75 base but typically end up around 80 with bonuses.
But yeah, deeply contemplating quitting corporate America altogether and working in the service industry
Ah yes privatized medicine at its finest. I’m sorry you have to deal with that, I didn’t mean to come off as condescending but I realize I might have.
Nah no worries at all, I appreciate the understanding. I think edge cases like mine are what causes people to innocently miss the reality of living in the United States.
I truly have trouble ordering my medicine because it enrages me how some of those low-level pharmaceutical employees can charge thousands of dollars for life-altering medicine so nonchalantly
And it’s truly incomprehensible because my medicine is on the cheap end of specialty medicines.
Words can’t describe this country and if it were easier to get out, you’d see mass exoduses everyday.
