“I only make $36,000k!” Like it’s supposed to be a Joke when it’s 90,000k+ which most redditors would be in awe of.

Would that work on a Scumbag like Bender? Scumbags don’t get the “I’m highly educated but taking less money to Serve the Community” bit. That’s pure Loser Clique behavior.

Anyway that’s a pretty low # for a school admin in a rich Chicago suburb, even in the 80s. Probably John Hughes the Boomer was using numbers he remembered from 1965.

Im not rewatching the scene because im a busy man but it felt more like “my life sucks so I don’t care about the consequences of fucking you up” iirc. But at the same time yeah he’s a Loser so he has to Complain about his 90th percentile Reddit income

Rich districts don't necessarily pay better. They know people will want to work there to avoid niggers, so they don't have to sweeten the deal.

There’s this great anti-wagecucking 80s movie called “Local Hero” where this guy played by Peter Riegert who’s some hotshot Houston oil & gas exec reveals he makes $80K/yr and it’s supposed to be very impressive to the other characters.

Mitch Deere made $86k for Memphis BigLaw, but they also gave him a car, a home loan and paid off his student loans.

The home loan thing used to be real. Now, BigLaw gets BofA to refinance your student loans.

Alec Baldwin claimed he made $970,000 last year in Glengary Glen Ross. I assume that was a lot of money back then.

It was a one year membership to the Jelly of the Month Club. This was a major plot point; please try to be more mindful of tracking these details

The crazy thing is that the Christmas Clark hated so much was very budget conscious. The old bastards just came into town and stayed at his house. No tropical vacations, elaborate shows of wealth, etc. In fact, the movie went to great pains to make fun of his bourgeois yuppie next door neighbors.

in the 1982 film "shoot the moon," the price of a home tennis court installation with a gazebo and wooden fencing and benches and grill/dining area and other features is cited as $15,000 total.

Wall Street they break it down nicely. Martin Sheen makes $42k as mid management unionized airline worker. Charlie makes $50k as a wall st broker nyu stern grad but can’t cover his nut. High up wall st types make $400k and fly first class but are losers. Bignuts have nw in the $50m range and true whales like gecko make $800k per day

Redditors seem to think that everyone makes the same salary ime. They are always asking questions like “how do people afford dat”. Well, they make more money than you, champ.
