The threshold household income where a family can afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without relying on means-tested benefits is a lot higher than the official stats suggest.

    Who…The fuck…needs that much money to live for a year? Omg.

    Just move somewhere cheaper.

    Skill issue, tbh.

      Are you a single person? This is household income, not 22 year old living with roommates and eating ramen noodles for dinner.

      Yes, of course. Everyone knows it’s very easy and simple to move house. People can do it as easily as ordering a pizza.
      And no one has ties to family, community, or work etc etc to consider. Yes, yes, everyone is actually nomadic but most are just being silly obstinate gooserers’

      …orrrrr the reason there’s an issue with property being very expensive is not just greed but also because it’s difficult to just move?
      No, no, no, what am I saying, everyone is just unskilled idiots (except you, obvs)!!!

      50k+ was average childcare for 2 kids + Heath insurance premiums for a family of 4. Where do you go to get around that cost?
