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?
