Nobody ever mentions Doc from Snow White in the "wealthiest fictional characters" discussion. If we assume he's the owner of the mine, He could rival Smaug's mountain of gold in the Hobbit. He's holding a diamond that looks like 400 carats & would likely be a billion $

@HustleBitch_ Has nothing to do with discretionary spending. Thats what happens when you have specialized services perform highly custom work just to make a regular thing. 5 years ago a builder I worked for paid 110k for a shop to make a full bed, 3 row truck. He sold it for 40 6 months later

🚨 HE'S TRYING TO SELL THIS $3.7 MILLION LUXURY RV FOR $280,000 — A 92% WIPEOUT A man calmly does a video tour of this Prevost coach that used to be a billionaire flex. Original build price: $3,700,000 Listed at: $339,995 No buyer. Now slashed again to $280,000. That’s a 92% destruction of value - and it still hasn’t moved. No bidding war. No frenzy. Just silence… and another price cut. Pneumatic glass doors. Spacious kitchen with granite counters. Luxurious bathroom. Cedar lined closet. Custom furniture. A rolling penthouse - the market doesn’t want it. When ultra luxury toys can’t find buyers even after six-figure cuts, it means discretionary money is drying up fast. Flex purchases go first. Cash becomes king. Would you buy this motorhome- or does a 92% discount tell you something’s seriously wrong?

@AJA_Cortes Actually， you're the imbecile. You morons think there were never any poor people in the 70s. $150 shoes are for retards who want to stay poor. And eveb if you are partially right, who cares dude, what are you gonna do about it? You have one life to live, or you csn cry about it

This is boomer snark that misses the point A $150 pair of shoes and a $1,000 phone aren’t "luxuries" They've become baseline participation costs in modern American life You need a smartphone to apply for jobs, access your bank account, do your schoolwork, and communicate with anyone $150 shoes aren’t extravagant when a pair of basic Nikes starts at $90 and falls apart in 6 month The real question that boomers cannot grasp -Why does a young person in the wealthiest country in history need to spend $1,200/month on a shared apartment, buy a $1000 phone designed to go extinct in a few years, and carry $100,000 in student debt for a degree that was supposed to be the ticket to the middle class, and watch home prices triple in 20 years while wages moved maybe 15%? Nobody is claiming they can’t afford coffee. They’re saying that even doing everything right , a degree, job, no frivolous spending, the math doesn’t work the way it did in 1985 when you could pay tuition with a summer job and buy a house at 24 on one income. Pointing at a kid’s shoes while ignoring the disparity in cost of living is missing the forest for the trees Consumer goods are a net loss over time And the things that actually build wealth, like property, education, healthcare, they all got 5-10x more expensive Would you rather they get a magic marker from the dollar tree store and write it on a cardboard sign? Imbecile.
