I think the worst part of these high salaries is that at a certain amount of money you start paying off even big stuff pretty quickly. Working class people are so used to the idea that they will always have a rent payment or will, as far as it matters, always have a mortgage payment and/or car payment floating around. The ultra wealthy pay all that shit off right away and then continue having these sky-high yearly incomes.

His pay got cut in half, sure, but his life didn’t even need to change at all. They cut his salary in half and he didn’t even feel it.
