Why does every American on Reddit seem to earn $80,000+

[optimisticzoomer]

Is it all larp?
I saw some guy saying he works in forestry and earns $90k (£67k), whereas in UK you’re looking at more like £30k. And UK wages are higher than most of Europe

Another comment was saying it isn’t uncommon for doctors to earn 500,000-1,000,000

And yet Americans complain about not being able to afford stuff (they’re all fat consoomers)

 

[BeanCelll]

They're comfortable discussing money beause they have it

also high-cost cities

 

[160cmcurry]

I think larp

 

[MoggedSubhuman]

Seems plausible ngl. Most redditards are soy upper class bastards who's never seen life outside their gated suburbs which is why they all support retarded virtue signalling shit like BLM and LGBBQ

Probably a good amount of them sure, but a lot of them aren't too absurd also.

the 500-1m doctors are probably neurosurgeons or just private practice

they don’t get affected by things like illegal migrants, all these violent groups destroying culture, overcrowded schools, everything secluded in their white dominated neighborhood to virtue signal

white american ‘liberalism’ is a privilege

easy to be a moralist if you’re barely getting affected by the things that goes on

The poor people have no reason to talk about their shit wages.

The rich ones wanna flex their wealth

This is common. I make around 40k and my equivalent in the USA would be making around 90-110k. Living costs there are crazy even if they're already high here.

Living costs are basically the same as UK

Is it really? I really don't know about the UK but if so that's fucked. I know rents in big cities in the usa are easily like 2-3k alone

 

[hypernormie]

I mean it's true a lot of people make a ton of money in America but it's also true that most of them are consumer slaves that can't make even manage their above average incomes properly

When you realize this alot of problems in America begin to make sense

Even poor people in America are consumer slaves

Recently due to the government shutdown, tons of people were complaining about food stamps and not being able to afford food, yet if you dig deeper you realize it's not so much that these people can't afford to eat on what food stamps provide for them but simply that these people have absolutely no discipline or self control and feel like they are being oppressed when the government isn't subsidizing their absurd grocery bills that are 70% junk food

I get upset sometimes that America is failing but even with all the dysfunction in the government you realize that Americans themselves are about half responsible for the situation

In general they are
I think the biggest cities are more expensive than London, but wages are also higher
London median wage is £49,000 (higher than I thought tbh), but 1 bedroom rent average is like £2000

Woah that's insane 2k I totally didn't expect it, I pay 700 for a whole flat (small but I live solo) and I live in top 2 biggest city in spain so it's not like it's a small city.

Glad someone mentioned it because I noticed it too, and don’t British people have to pay a lot of taxes too?
Being in America is a huge advantage wow.

That’s why most people live outside London and commute in

 

[unknownincel]

yeah like how most incels here are somehow 6ft

 

[Whatever]

I too work in the timber industry and yes, made about $84k in 2025, lots of forestry related jobs in Oregon and Washington pay pretty well. 50+, 60+ hour work weeks though.

Dude it's because everything is more expensive here. You have to look at purchasing power instead nominal income.

Healthcare, education, housing is out of control here. If you can control those expenses you're chilling over here.

$80k isn’t much in the real world unless your living with your parents

Housing is cheaper and bigger than UK for the most part

[ihatereddit]

americans live in easy mode, niggas fart and make $100k thats impossible basically anywhere else

 

[Foreverbrad]

Making money in the US is trivially easy, my friend moved there and makes 5k a month with no qualifications while I’m stuck in United cuckdom making 2.5k a month with a masters degree and 5 years of experience.

How did she get there you ask? Just marry a rich guy. She doesn’t even need to work, this is just pocket money for her birkin bags.

 

[optimisticzoomer]

Cheaper, yes

 

[thereallegend]

Cheaper, yes

You don't know what you're talking about.

No, you don’t. The vast majority of US states have a cheaper median house price than UK

Scotland has cheap housing.

It's not very impressive wage for Techcel. It's what you get paid for frontend work and low level QA testing stuff.

 

[New Poster]

Everyone on incel forums has an 8x6
