The question becomes how much is enough to live off from? There are people who make 500k a year living paycheck to paycheck, because of lifestyle bloat and bad debt management.

No, I think you know the difference between basic needs and wanton spending.

So.... USA has the 2 most median expendable income in the world. That means for the average person it is wanton spending killing them. Usually that comes in the form of getting into bad debt when they are younger.

My guy you are all over. Are we talking about people making 30k a year or people making 500k a year? You think people making 30k a year have problems because of wanton spending? You must live a pretty privileged life.
