"essentially complaining about being poor when they're making 100k+ per year."

That's batshit to me. I make about 15% less than that and I'm not, by any means, poor. And I have a car payment, mortgage, and student loans. I don't get that at all

The lifestyle creep is real.  Unless you know and pay attention to it it's easy to go from making 50k a year to 100k a year and still have the same amount of free cashflow/savings.
