        Here I am thinking, “Damn $7500/mo, I could gross that every month for the rest of my life for my partner and I, and we’d be more than comfortable.” Then I realized it’s still less than $100k/yr, and inflation is a bitch.

        …I’m never going to be able to afford a house, will I?

          Housing prices are dropping currently, so if you have some money saved up when it finally crashes (assuming you still have a job) you might be able to own a home.

        Who are completely festooned in Disney regalia (clothing, bags, buttons, hats, etc). I was coerced into visiting SoCal and the amusement park ecosystem not long ago. The amount of money spent on Disney apparel is stupefying. I began attempting to spot people dressed normally of which there were few. The amount of money spent on Disney anything is insane. Though the same seemed true at Universal Studios. I do also remember trying to curb my thinking, “Let people enjoy things” and then being dismayed to have 40-yr old men in wizard robes pushing me aside to buy a HP wand. At least they serve alcohol at Universal, but Bruce was gone [sniff].
