    There’s room for all of us to be angry. I think it’s reasonable to complain if you work 50 hours a week for that income, have to be away from your family, who also need to be housed and clothed and to eat and care for their health, and all you have is scraps left over and aren’t saving much, if any.

      When you make $150k, you usually have to live in a preposterously expensive area and have your entire life structured around your job. You eat better meals and have a better car so you can work better, and if you don’t you’re fired because someone else will. Student loans are how you got there to begin. It costs a lot money to work.
