[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I work hard to make a combined $300k. We live in a townhome that recently
appraised for $1.3m and our kids go to highly rated nearby public schools. We visit local free public parks. We go on mediocre beach vacations for a week.

My SIL is the sole breadwinner for her family of 4 and she makes about $120k. Her husband is a stay at home dad who helps take care of two special needs kids.

They rent a townhome in an ok area but still the same county as us and their kids go to local public schools. They visit local parks and go on mediocre beach vacations. They got $10k in stimulus funds that we did not qualify for.

It seems that we are basically living the same lifestyle yet we work so much harder for the exact same things. What gives? Why are we working so hard to get the basics?[/quote]

Politicians were [b]following the science[/b]. Science tells us that the more money you earn, the less susceptible you are to a communicable disease. Science also tells us that people who earn more money also tend to spend and invest less (amazing, I know) and are therefore less likely to help stimulate the economy if they were to have received a stimulus check. Finally, science tells us that there actually exists a hard upper limit on HHI, beyond which recipients of stimulus checks actually shred and burn them instead of cashing them in. It’s all in the [magically evolving] science!!! Can’t you just follow the science?!?! [/quote]
