$100,000 seemed like a lot more money as a kid. like now if you make that you’re def well off, but like i thought if you made $100,000 you were as rich as they come. you got a big ass house with a pool, disney world every year, kids had everything, rich

I think it probably was more like that back then but now because of inflation and all that it’s not worth as much 😭

My parents have had an income of between 100K/150K my whole life. I can tell you that they got married, bought a decent 3bed/2bath house in a good neighborhood, and paid it off in 5 years. They they had me and my sister. They had enough money for us to go on vacation in-state for a week every year, and enough money for nice dinners and stuff like that. When me and my sister both turned 16, we got cars (prob like 10/15 years old). They have also paid for our college in full and they will retire

without worry. So an abundance of money, but not enough to be showy! Or I suppose they could’ve been showy but they picked to pay for college instead!
