A debate over income and rising costs surfaced after friends questioned how someone in Texas earning about $70,000 a year still feels poor.
The original poster wrote on the r/Salary subreddit that the individual works at a restaurant, handles multiple duties, picks up extra shifts and shares rent with two roommates. Even so, the poster wrote that money continues to run out because of weekend spending, nights out and vacations where costs rise quickly, including casino stops.
