IS $100,000 a lot of money? Is $100,000 a lot of money? No one's gonna convince me that it's not. I don't care if you're in New York or California or wherever you're saying. $100,000 is still a lot of money. Is it as strong as it used to be? Does it afford the lifestyle that you could have 20 years ago now? Absolutely not. But there's no salary that you could literally say that about from 40, 50, 60 years ago. So yeah, that's a lot of money. Anybody trying to convince you otherwise is just the hater. Or you just need to be more proud of where you are in life. Honestly, in your 20s making six figures is not normal. And people need to think about that. And I feel like the social media, the people you're seeing that make all this money, you're acting like they're the norm when they're not. They're not the norm. Actually, they're the norm if you hang around people who like that all the time. But like, if you just go out into the general public, that is not the norm. So don't ever let people tell you it's not a lot of money because it is. In your 20s making six figures is not normal. And people need to think about that.
