    Oh brother, if you’re working, you’re poor.

      Well… Spez is coming into the Reddit office and probably does some fucked up shit there he might call work and gets paid 200M a year. That’s not poor. If you have to work not lose your quality of life, then it makes more sense.

      The downvotes… Listen, if you have to work, you’re a wage slave. Doctors are wage slaves. Lawyers are wage slaves. It’s not until they pay off their massive student loans, complete their residency programs and make smart investments that they can stop working. This problem is made worse by a lot of them by trying to live outside their means (possible at any income level).

      If you don’t have to work, even for health care, then you are rich.
