I too did the same exact thing, and I share your opinion. People in the upper echelon, especially in the finance industry, have lost their minds. What ever happened to aphorism living below your means. I guess people that the quote references are not financially prudent, and honestly, deserve to suffer in my eyes, since they probably caused this mess to begin with.

Shit, to be honest, I'd be lucky to net 1/7th a month of that income while working this year. Hopefully, if everything goes better than plan, I'd be able to land a fulfilling job where I can net 1/6th, but I am highly skeptical though.
