The only thing I’d disagree with is the income in this statement. While the median is $70k, it doesn’t mean people are doing well. The vast majority of people can’t afford a $500 emergency because of how wages haven’t kept up with inflation over the past 50 years or so. I made $80k last year living in Denver and while I was comfortable, it would still take me a decade to save what I need for a down payment on a house. It’s just really expensive to live in the US compared to the UK/Ireland. I think they’ll be surprised how little they’ll get at the grocery store for $50.
I grew up in Colorado and fled as an economic refugee to the Midwest 6 years ago. Good move. But it’s starting to get more expensive here too.
It’s happening everywhere slowly but surely. Even my hometown of Nashville is turning into Denver with the cost of living.
