CNBC: Budget breakdown of a couple making 500K a year who still feels average.
- Thread starter Regulus Tera
- Start date
Kind of odd that their cars and student loans are the least questionable part of this breakdown. Kind of makes me wonder how their student loans are that small given their income.
Either way, this is kind of a pointless graphic meant to make the average reader have a very obvious reaction to it.

what do they need to save for? They put away more than I make in a year into 401ks.
Maybe stop buying luxury cars? Don't give $18k a year to charity? $2k a month in food? The childcare bill will be gone in a few years once the kids are in school.

Looks about right. They're fine. Enjoying their lifestyle. And they have plenty of room to cut back. Which they should and bank that shit now. You never know what tomorrow holds.
At least they can afford childcare, 401k, extracurricular activities for their kids, and student tuition. Other people get fuck all. If America were a functioning society, those services would be provided to everyone through the taxes of rich people like this.
Oh Jesus c'mon those expenses.
Someone find that cartoon with the sad looking wealthy people.
Edit thanks Saya.

i dont think i've spent total 800 on clothes in like the last 4 years.
Ah yes, CNBC MakeIt, the same dipshits that brought us the budget breakdown of a 25-year-old who makes $100k a year and is good with money because he has roommates.

How do you get to that income level and not just pay off your student loans
Also, yes, $1.5M home is ridiculous, but I see people drop around a million near me on the regular. Property is expensive in desirable coastal cities
3 vacations is a funny joke, these people are supposed to be Americans right?

I don't think these people actually exist. They are probably the masturbatory imaginings of some conservative think tank
also, what more do they want? If this is average, what exceptional things are they missing out on?
lol these people can get fucked.
I feel fortunate with the two of us bringing in nearly $70K/year in the sense that we don't feel completely poor anymore. You'd never hear me saying anything to the contrary.
I grew up extremely poor. Like ketchup sandwiches and water for dinner poor. Don't talk to me about "average" bringing in that much money.

Having more than 7,000 a year leftover AFTER miscellaneous expenses and THREE vacations is still wildly enviable imo
This is just an example of people making a lot and learning to spend a lot and then thinking that because it's all gone, it's not actually a lot.

I'd take that charity money and dump it into the student loans
23k a year on groceries seems ridiculous. What the heck are they buying
