Not one of those people are these “5 home” landlord Magicians manics cousin is. They all life lives not that different from a person making 80k. Sure maybe they have a detached home but it’s not like a 4 million dollar north van home or some balling penthouse. It’s such a crock to think hard work can get you anything you want lol.. HUGE life altering sacrifice can barely get you a 1br at Brentwood.

So true. Most of my colleagues are all close to 200k bracket and none of them have 5 houses. Most are still paying off their 1 to 2 million dollar detached and have a nice car around 50 to 100k along with a daily. Some of their wives work and together they pull 300 plus but live a similar life. Not ultra rich for sure..just normal dudes. I think the 200 to 300k bracket was the 100k bracket In the 90s and early 2000s. Same buying power anyways.
