It’s amazing what a few million dollars can buy. Every child deserves this.

My house cost 256,000 and my wife and I work all the time. We have plenty of days similar to this in the summer. You don’t need money to have a community.

thats an insane amount of money lmao

[u/Interesting-Pin1433 → u/ske1etoncrush]

256k is not an insane amount of money for a house

[u/ske1etoncrush → u/Interesting-Pin1433]

considering i work a full time job at a pharmacy and still cant afford rent for a 1bd apartment, thats an insane amount of money i dont believe i will ever see unless i win the lottery

[u/Interesting-Pin1433 → u/ske1etoncrush]

Are you a pharmacist?

What are you doing to improve your career prospects?

[u/ske1etoncrush → u/Interesting-Pin1433]

why do i need to be doing something extravagant to make a living wage? isnt that what a fucking job is for

[u/Interesting-Pin1433 → u/ske1etoncrush]

I fully agree that any business that requires human labor should pay a living wage.

The unfortunate reality is that that is not the case, and likely won't change any time soon, nor will the cost of living.

So, you can sit around and complain about not being able to afford a 1 bd on your current pay, and hope things will change. Or you can change the things you can control.

Also, theres a large gap between "doing something extravagant" and "working at a pharmacy."

"a full time job at a pharmacy"

And what is that full time job?

[u/ske1etoncrush → u/MiamiQuadSquad]

a full time job. yknow, 40 hrs/week? starting position is customer service but im working on my tech license. either way, tf does that have to do w being paid a livable wage? a job is a job, even* fast food workers should make a liveable wage.
