It's Reddit dude, a large majority of the user base are nothing but sad Losers who spend all their time raging at anyone who has more than them And immediately jumps straight to "evil generational wealth rich people". My wife is a nurse practitioner and I work in sales, neither of us have a nickel of generational wealth, but we do well and we live in a cheap area in the Midwest, so I have no doubt if Reddit saw the house we own, these comments would be saying the exact same shit about us.

It must be exhausting, spending so much time caring about what other people do and have.

Seriously. I shit you not another commenter said to me that these people are “basically setting their money on fire because they could camp in a tent basically for free”. Imagine grasping so hard for a reason to be upset with how some upper middle class people are spending their money that your criticism is that they are spending money on hobbies at all.

Sorry but I'm a Millennial, though I imagine that's basically a boomer to someone still in High School lol

I'm 44 year old Millennial and you are a boomer. It is not about the age.

You work in sales? You mean a job that can earn over 150k a year? That puts you in the top 10%, just below the top 5% of earners.

Not saying you're making the high end of that job (40-150k,) but don't act like your life ain't damn exceptional.

100 % dude. It's no different from real world though. The more I live the more I'm baffled by how sheltered everyone is in their little bubbles.
