I’ve admitted to being a fully functional retard I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks of me I know who I am, but I’ve managed to pull down 150k a year job and my myself irreplaceable. My vehicles are paid off, my vehicles are paid off and both are less than 5 years old, I’m 2 years into a 30 year mortgage that has 18 years left due to paying down the principle every month by throwing $1,500 extra money. I would have done a 15 year for lower interest but I like to err on the side of caution.
That being said my retarded ass who makes 150k a year with $0 debt outside of my house am absolutely fucking feeling it, my checks don’t change but my expenses on food and every day supplies has, my insurance is through the roof, the $1500 I’ve been throwing down on the mortgage each month has gone down to about $600 over the last 6 months you could argue that’s not a recession it’s just inflation but tell that shit to people who make 30-50k a year. I used to go to Colorado or Utah or Montana for skiing or white water rapids but now my ass who lives in Corpus I’m just going to SA to Six Flags or float the comal river.
We might not feel it that bad but I have in-laws that absolutely hate my wife because she’s doing ok and they think we’re rich when I’m anything but rich, shit is a nightmare right now for people, i literally know people who maxed out credit cards to eat, drive without insurance, always a couple months behind on the electric water and car and the bank threatens to repo the vehicle if they don’t get insurance but the vehicle is so massively under water it’s better to hope they pay than sell it for less than what they loaned.
You are much more wealthy than me and a lot more smarter, you might be a bit insulated from it, I work around these people all the time and they aren’t all retarded or had these problems 4 years ago, shits bad out there for people and this pic sums up what’s going on right now for people i work around not with.
