Just curious to get some feedback here. My wife and I have a combined income of about $200k before taxes and have one child with another due in the Fall. Up until this year we’ve maintained decent savings but as of Jan 2025 we’ve really begun to feel a squeeze on our financials. We’ll be fine I think as I have a decent stack of physical silver (and by eliminating non-essential spending we’ll recoup some monthly funds) but I genuinely hope we’ll be feeling some relief soon.
How is everyone else here doing? After paying in $6k in taxes this month I’m really hoping for an end to the IRS soon :/
Judging by comments and comparisons my estimate is that most Americans are near actual poverty level income. Falling through the cracks as always. Too much income to get assistance and too little for any feeling of security. Folks with 200k a year income? If you feel an economic pinch maybe you need to downsize? imagine being a family today, living on less than 30k a year, and one 20 yr old vehicle. The forgotten people.
