Im in the top 1% in my country (yep, third world), and living paycheck to paycheck. Its embarrassing with some 20years experience, but, that's how ot is at the moment.
I wasn't trying to insult you. High earners in the article are Americans earning >$100k a year.
You're not insulting me. I am insulting myself by not taking action. 100k where i come from is huge money. I make a quarter of it, and it's still top 1%.
but also, my monthly expenses are like $500. Maybe 600. So, it's not really comparable
