I don’t have a hard copy of the study but I think the graph does just fine.
We’re talking aboutMinimum Salary To Be Financially Successful.
That’s an extremely specific prompt to get to almost $600,000 a year.

But maybe you youngsters are better thinking bigger?
Maybe $600k is fucking nothing?
At that level you’re rich enough to be the poorest guy in the room.
It’s a nice room but everyone’s judging you for being in it.
So up your perception to like $5M annually if you want to be unrealistic assholes.
That would be the most appropriate starting point.
Another thing - do we blame social media/influencers or cryptocurrency for such a preposterous study?
Who gets the lion’s share of the blame on this one?
Because I can understand the influencer/streamer model normalizing millionaire lifestyles amongst wholly unremarkable teenagers.
They just die, but that’s a different blog.
Or do the older guys think that’s totally reasonable and I should be more concerned about inflation?
But then probably closer to $200K if you hate your job.
So to recap, loosely :
1.
Up to $45,000 = you better love your job
2.
$45-$200k = how much do you hate your job
3.
$200k+ = you’ve got the option to own shit
4.
$600K = you have a liberal arts degree from Miami (OHIO)
What’s your scale?
