That's damn ridiculous, where I live $100,000 is just starting to be comfortable if you want to buy a house and feed your family. Why even bother working, putting in overtime, making an effort to get a good education if they take away every reward you get for your sweat and tears? All the nurses and doctors and vets and a billion other professionals should just pack up shop and go home after they make their $100,000 for the year? The rest you will hand out to people who are sitting on their asses doing nothing for society, so why even get out of bed in the morning?

"Where I live $100,000 is just starting to be comfortable if you want to buy a house and feed your family"

The fuck are you living??

Suggestion: It's not like you have to buy a new house every year.

Los Angeles. $100,000 is not all that and a bag of chips here if you want to own your own home and pay for any kind of college education for your kids.

You do realize that after buying said house one still has to usually make payments and upkeep, right?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-20 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
I think "make payments" is possibly an Americanism I don't understand. What payments do you need to keep making on a house you already own? That come in in the tens of thousands of dollars a year?

Almost no one is going to be able to buy a house outright, especially on a $100,000 year income. You make a down payment of 20 percent or more and then take out a loan for the rest. The loan period is typically 30 years. Many houses in the US are "underwater" which means people owe more on them than they are worth. For example, my loan was taken out when my house was worth $200,000. I took a $160,000 loan for a 30 year time period. I pay about $200 towards the loan and %900 towards interest, insurance and taxes each month. It's worth $115,000 in today's market. I don't make $100,000 a year and it takes a significant portion of my monthly take home pay. Plus you have to add all the utility bills, the upkeep and maintenance, it gets expensive.

I am in the same boat.

It sucks so hard. I'm sorry I decided to buy during the damned bubble we didn't know would be a bubble.

A+

Yeah, all those sick and disabled people, let's just kill them off so we don't have to support them.

Fuck you, you are vile. I hope to God you aren't in the above named caring professions because you have no humanity at all. And I feel sorry for your kids being brought up to believe that only having a job makes you worthwhile.

I would like to say that I was very poor as a kid and so I had a huge drive to work overtime and become a doctor, so I could be "comfortable." Until I grew up and realized how excessively extravagant people's definition of comfortable tends to be. So yes, as a professional who made a great effort to get an education and who knows that money is not at all the most important reward of an education, I will DEFINITELY be both working for AND handing out my extra money to the poor, needy, hungry, those looking for an opportunity a.k.a "those who are sitting on their asses doing nothing for society."

THAT's why I get out of bed in the morning
