'600K used to buy you a serious mansion. Now it's an average family home.'
"It's Mind-Bogglingly Expensive" — People Are Sharing Things They Flat-Out Don't Know How Anyone Affords, And I'm Nodding In Agreement,"What is one thing that you flat out just don’t know how people afford?". Here are some of our favourite answers:"I still don't know how we afforded daycare. At one point we had two kids in daycare for a year before our oldest went to kindergarten.""We paid $42k per year for two kids in daycare.
"Three-quarters of Americans who live to 21 live to 65, of which two-thirds will need long-term care for an average of three years. Maybe not all long-term care is nursing level, but some of it is even more expensive — memory care, etc. comes out to roughly $150k per person — and almost double that if you limit it to those who need any at all. Somewhere between a generous down payment and a new house.
"Brand-new pick-up trucks for people who don’t use them as pickup. $60k for a transportation appliance used just to commute?""Even routine care and vaccinations can be $400. Not to mention, if there are any unique issues or an emergency, you’re paying thousands and they won’t give care until you pay."
"I've seen plenty of people post their huge and expensive Funko Pop, Gundam, vinyl, manga, retro game collections, and I don't know how they do it."Thumbnail credits: Getty Images / NBC / Universal / Nickelodeon /
