I'm lucky to even get $1000 worth of stuff, and I'm halfway to six figures.
    lol halfway to six figures is poor...

    Well, I guess it means he makes a max of $999 a year. Also, if you take what he meant, 50k, it entirely depends on where you live. NYC, sure, you are homeless. Mississippi, you are rich.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I think his point was that he isn't poor and yet is still shocked about what some people are getting.

    So it turns out I did get something this Christmas after all.

    The main water pipe for my building burst and I have no water for 24-48 hours. Last year the main power line malfunctioned and we had no power for 24-48 hours.
    Fuck this white people holiday.

    Ok so looks like I am getting reimbursed for my new armani glasses as well as my sennheiser hd650's, couple gift cards and a new beanie.

    All in all about $600 cash, target gift card and the hat. Not a bad Christmas considering I'm getting older and haven't asked for anything or cost more than 300 in years.

    $50k is rubble in Pittsburgh, my parents make combined $125k and we barely get by in a nicer middle class community ($100 limit on "main gift" for Christmas usually).... however if you go to the outer rims of Pittsburgh's metropolitan area, into farm country, you can live off of social security checks. Or minimum wage. Either one, its seriously like $15k to live sufficiently there (gas bill, rent a home, maybe a lil more if you get a mortage to buy one).
