"Look Timmy, I get you want me to be your 'mom' or whatever, but have you considered that my do-nothing job that pays me like 80k a year makes me feel kinda alienated sometimes? I'm the real victim.

Anyway I've decided we're going to join a MLM scheme/cult that I heard about on AOL. So I'm going to be busy, you'll have to make your own Mac-n-Cheese tonight."

My mom once tried to make it out like wages were bad when she was young, and she mentioned how little she was paid in a secretary job in the 80s. We ran it through an inflation calculator and she was making like 70-80k as a secretary while my wife was making 40k modern bux with a college degree.
