An Aussie man who has changed an office work for an office for a construction site, pronounced his shock after he heard that a $ 120,000 salary was not enough to live on.
Jack, 29, divided Tap Viewers when he recently shared a video about how rich his teenager himself thought that an income of six digits would make him.
‘A hundred Grand a year, you would drive in a Mercedes and live in a luxury apartment. That’s what I thought, “he said.
“The only thing I can buy with my six -digit salary is groceries without reducing.”
Some viewers closed Jack because they were privileged by complaining about how far his money went.
‘My partner and I have a combined income of $ 145k. For me this is wild, “someone said.
Another said: “I earn $ 50Kish a year, can be fine and still saved well, I think the more you earn, the more you spend.”
But other Aussies sympathized and said that they had also had to deal with financial struggles on comparable Six figures salaries.

“I used to think $ 100k would be good. Now I am of $ 200k money for adults, “they wrote.
Another added: ‘Bro I made $ 230k (pre -tax) last year and I can tell you that I don’t feel rich.
‘I live alone and have a new VW because the 15 -year -old was ready. I also bought a unity, but I am essentially stretched. ‘
In a follow -up video with regard to the comments that called him on his ‘privileged’ position, Jack agreed that it showed the terrible experience of the average Aussie.
“The income level that I had to reach to be able to do that is quite high,” he said.
“My parents think I’m rich, they think I was beaten.
“That gives you insight into how bad things have come for the average Australian that the bald supplies are not a problem for you, is a point of privilege.”
Jack now earns more than $ 140,000 a year and still has trouble scraping a decent down payment together to buy his first home, even after he had moved to regional Victoria.

He currently pays $ 2500 a month on rent, but would select $ 7000 in mortgage repayments if he bought in the same area.
“I am in the top 10 percent of the income earners, so how is everyone sewn?” Jack told news.com.au.
‘If you finish your ass in Melbourne or Sydney and have a family income of $ 300,000 And you both kill it, and if you are really lucky, you might be able to buy a house, an hour away from where you work.
“That’s just terrible. That is so rough. ‘
Jack previously earned between $ 50,000 and $ 60,000 a year in a business job after graduating from the university with a diploma Economy.
But after he had complained about his wages with his uncle, Jack decided to dump his suit for Hi Vis -Workwear three years ago, so that he could more than double his income.
“My uncle told me to get a few work boots and a white card and come and jump in a workplace and earn $ 2000 a week,” he remembered.
“I will break pieces of asbestos and throw them in a skip -trough tray when I no longer have to be in debt.”
