Millennial men with different incomes
I assume many people here are earning amazing incomes, &gt;$100k.<p>Does anyone else feel extremely guilty about this?  When I read about the guy who takes two trains a bus and walks a mile to get to work, while trying his best to save just $1100 for a car, my heart breaks.  The work I do is easy - I sit in front of a screen in my own house.  When I go to a fast food restaurant and order from a woman in her 40s, who likely has kids at home, I can&#x27;t help but feel a sense of guilt (and also luck).  Even as I earn more money, I feel guilty spending it, so I end up just saving a large part of it.<p>Not sure there&#x27;s a point or a problem or something I&#x27;m trying to solve, just wanted to share my feelings and see if others felt the same way, and hear any advice or thoughts they had.<p>Edit: I do take some (perverse) solace in the fact that it seems many extremely poor people across the world seem happier than the average wealthy office worker I know.  Add up: long commute + winter weather (and darkness) + unfulfilling work + expenses that expand to their level of income = potentially a pretty unhappy person, even though they are high income.<p>Edit 2: Reading about how the low earner saved up for a $160 pair of shoes also gave me some warm feelings. Maybe that&#x27;s why rich people do challenging, but relatively pointless things like hiking mountains.  We don&#x27;t have enough challenges in our daily lives, so we invent them so we can feel good about ourselves after.
