    My friend’s husband just got promoted. I estimate he makes between $500k and $800k per year.

    His job is slightly worse than mine but not really that bad. He’s 12 years younger than me and I would consider him a regular guy, average intelligence, and a hard worker.

    I’m happy for him but what the actual fuck. That’s like professional athlete money.
