I see way too many of these videos and I honestly think it's the reason why people will hop on the internet and then get off and have this warped perception of what an actual good income is.

Transcript

I see way too many of these videos and I honestly think it's the reason why people will hop on the internet and then get off and have this warped perception of what an actual good income is. Like you will get online and see people talking about eating out at steak dinners every night, driving fancy supercars, living in mansions. That is not an average lifestyle and it is not what you should be holding yourself to. Now, should you be shooting to be the absolute best version of yourself? Absolutely. But it does not mean that you're behind if you are not making over $170,000 a year. If you are a single person, 70k is enough to live a very comfortable life. 100k you are doing pretty good. At 170k as a single person, you are living a very good life. Don't let people get on the internet and tell you that you are not doing enough, as it's just simply not true.
