I’ve seen this with my own eyes. They’re related to the type of people who stay in low-paying jobs forever and/or choose low-paying majors, but don’t understand why they make less money. It never occurs to them to do something else, all jobs make the same amount in their minds.
By far the most frustrating posts on the mom forum are when the SAHM’s ask about finances. I don’t really know what I was expecting, but a vast majority of their partners make less than 60K per year and they wonder why they can’t spend like the moms who are doctors and lawyers.
