Gen Zers were asked if they find a ‘salary of $75,000 a year to be poor’ — their responses expose reality of living in America

With inflation and rising cost of living, a sufficient salary for the current generations might look drastically different from when boomers and Gen X started working. However, what counts as ‘enough’ can vary based on a person’s lifestyle, where they live, and more. A Gen Z, u/NoHousing11, asked people about their perspective on whether a $75k a year salary can be considered poor or not and shared two X posts that explained two different perspectives on the same. The responses u/NoHousing11 got were baffling.
