plenty of people live above their means, im not saying that. but at 200k you should be able to go on vacation overseas. 20k a month isn’t a lot of money if you’re paying 4-6k for a mortgage/rent. 500 a month on groceries for like 2 people, have to pay $500 for a cheap car note, and insurance + 401k + taxes + everything else. def living way better than someone that makes 50-100, but still not rich or ultra successful by any means.
