Kirkland Signature kids from Costco?

While Costco has pretty much everything ELSE in bulk, I had to go elsewhere to purchase mine.

What is six figures? If it's like $120k, then that was $75k like 10 years ago and who cares. That's not much at all these days.


It's dumb this term sticks around. It originated to refer to the top 1/2%

To have a nice home in an upper class neighborhood with a single income, savings, play money, etc. you need at least 350K in today's world. Nobody making that kind of money uses the term 6-figure so anyone who does is likely just north of 100 and basically working to barely get by

I think you are actually serious and not trolling...

That is $29,000 a month. You are out of touch.




I'll say this to anyone who thinks they need dual incomes. When my wife left her "6-figure" (low 100's Pharma job) to be a SAHM, it allowed me to focus on my career. I'd never be where I am today had we not given it up when it seemed impracticable financially at the time. Don't let strangers raise your kids so your wife can make 100K. The idiots running your company are no smarter than you are. I was a C Student with an Ag Eco degree when I graduated. I now have a Director position at a medical device company because I could give 10% more than the guy next to me.


This is very generalized.

My wife is right at 6figure mark as a counselor, so she works 180 days a year, picks up kids everyday from school and very rarely takes work home with her. Obviously, shes off the same 10 weeks a year they are.
Plus she'll have pension at retirement in her 50s.

No educated couple would give up this income. If my wife was a sahm, every hour that she would gain would be when the kids are in school, which means more likely just blowing money on shopping or whatever else a sahm does the 35 hours a week kids are in school.

They think they're going to get some hide hustle. And some are just lazy.

My wife had 3 friends "retire" in the last 2-3 years. It's more a status thing for them. "I don't have to work"

Granted, 2 of them have trust funds / rich parents so stashing away 50-60k a year in retirement doesn't make their budget line.

If we didn't have to save for retirement… man, the materialistic **** I could buy. Or my wife could just sit at home and think up ways to spend our money and time from TikTok and instagram.
