@SuperSnekFriend @sun yeah new car every five years is fucking ridiculous lol.

Also who the fuck is spending 38k on their wedding? Are they saying like, if you have two daughters and have to pay for their entire weddings you'll be paying that much? Weddings aren't THAT expensive. You can get a wedding done for under $10k easy.

Also I do not think that taking yearly vacations that cost a lot of money is part of the American dream. Not every single vacation has to be going to fucking Disneyland. A lot of our family vacations were things like driving to a different state to go see family for a while, or going to a national park, or even just renting a hotel room for a couple nights and chilling out. Even when we went to Vegas it was like, pretty cheap relative to whatever the fuck this is. For a family of 6, mind you.

Paying for a house isn't that much money either, tbh. Even around here where it is pretty expensive, something like a 4 bedroom is like $600k. There are places in the US that are half that cost. Unless they are adding like, maintenance costs in there I guess? But a good amount of that shit you can just do yourself anyway.

This kind of smells of propaganda to me.
