“Only” $500k
If someone complained to you about their parents “only” making $500,000 a year, what would you say to them? We guess they’d deserve a few harsh words and probably a good smack to bring them back to reality, right? Well, what if those around you sympathized with their suffering? What if you’re the odd one out for feeling that half a million dollars isn’t enough?
Well, it’s not all that surprising, if you think about it. If your peers belong to the top 1% of a country, then yes, half a million is definitely peanuts, in a sense. We wish that weren’t the case, yet here we are.
