    IKR? It’s not hard. Whoever posted this without accounting for the inflation since 1950 really just told everyone he has no try in him.

      You’re right. I should have just tried harder to be wealthy but I couldn’t afford to buy the bootstraps to pull myself up with.

          I think it’s wealthier than half the country. Far more than half, in fact. Because plenty of the people who aren’t living paycheck-to-paycheck still want to do things like go out to eat a couple of times a month or buy the latest games just so their lives aren’t totally miserable, so they aren’t able to save up $5000 either.

          Congratulations on your privilege though.

      Well, I’m in a very privileged position… For a lot of people it’s not easy at all. Making minimum wage in my country there’s no way you can save that much, for example.
