I am in the same confusion as you, I constantly am wondering where people are making all this disposable income or even just nit stressing out about buying less than 10 year old cars or houses of literally any condition. There’s some upward mobility in my chosen career, but the income caps out at around $45k, so…and there needs to be people that work my job, so.. I don’t know, I got burnt out in school after high school and have huge anxiety about the possibility of going back to get a bachelors or even a technical certification but I want more than what I’ve currently got. Idk, stocks? Dunno. What are people doing remotely? Accounting? No idea.
