In the first X post, a person quoted a ‘random MSNBC Ghoul’ and wrote, ‘To young people, free healthcare, college debt forgiveness sounds good to them. Think about it, you are out of college, 25 or 26 years old, working your first job, earning 75,000 or 80,000 a year, that kind of thing appeals to them, I guess.” Another person pointed out the flaw in the thinking and how the reality of most Gen Z is far more different than the post about $75,000 a year seeming insufficient. “Imagine being so rich that $75k,000 is what you think poor people earn. Straight up evil.” They added, “$75k is a fantasy amount of money to me. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to make that much money a year.”

“Do you consider a salary of $75,000 to be poor?” u/NoHousing11 asked users and many people shared their opinions in the comments section. While some people felt that $75k would mean living paycheck to paycheck if a person was living in one of the bigger cities in America, it could support a decent living in the smaller places. Others felt that $75k is a sufficient amount for living in any U.S. state.
