@RealHickory It’s easy for them to “feel” this way as they don’t have a huge influx in their area. Maybe the rest of the Indianapolis suburbs should drop off all the immigrants in fishers to let them deal with it
@follard Depreciating Structure? Wtf are you talking about. Not everyone should own, but it is generally better long term. Renting a home means you are paying all maintenance, taxes, and some profit to the owner of said property
@metaellihead@itrue98@Iraqveteran8888 Yes, a ton is gone in taxes. If you can’t live on $150k a year, even after taxes, that is a you problem or you need to move to not an expensive city
@madjak30@middle_class_us This this this. My wife and I make a very good living now. We still live in our starter home 1800sqft but I got it as foreclosure. Most seem to want 3500+ sqft and all kinds of stuff while driving a new car at like 25 years old
@NerdCraveYT@TheLastKekker 80-90k is great money still in a lot of the country. I am a white collar worker, but to move up and make good money requires working over 40 hours. You don’t get a head by doing the min. I have plumber friend who makes $100k+
@Stephen_Mills85@phipps@nash3dpotatoes@SteveOnSpeed The average American lives a really good life. Acting otherwise is ignorant to history and other countries. Poor people have higher luxuries than the wealthiest of 100 years ago could dream of
@Stephen_Mills85@phipps@nash3dpotatoes@SteveOnSpeed My health insurance is free and very good. I also make way more money. Max out of pocket is $4k and I can put just over $8k in my HSA pre-tax. I can then use the rest to invest.
