Sob stories about swamp creatures

 

The median salary of Air Traffic (and probably most other .GOV swamp creatures) controllers (ending in 2022) is About $130,000 per year.
Which is $10,833/month.
 
I made about 1/3 of that.
When I was unexpectedly retired🙄, I had just -the year before- put over half down on an F-250, so my bank account was.... on the low side. I had to wait almost a month and a half foe SS to kick in.
I still had enough money (at 1/3 of the average .GOV employee) to live and pay my bills for those 90 days easily.
 
WHY are these swamp creatures needing food pantries and side hustles to make up that missing money?
 
OR is it more likely that the Left leaning Media is lying (again) to try getting sympathy for the Devil?

  1. If you make $10,8333/ month but spend $11,000/ month you will soon be broke. If you make $3000/month and only spend $2500/month you will be able to survive a financial glitch.

  2. Leftisits hire leftists. The ones that are 'hurting' may actually be hurting because they have no idea how to manage money; be it tax money or their own.

  3. Lying media and lack of individual self control.

  4. I watch television shows about remodeling, or building homes. The grandiose whims are astounding. It's nothing for the owners to scrap a perfectly good kitchen that only needs a new coat of paint and replace all the cabinets, install new expensive stone countertops, move sinks to an island, and buy all new appliances. That's in the $30,000 range, and the madness continues until the remodeling costs are pushing a quarter of a million dollar; after a half million dollar purchase for the house.

    This is the problem. Mortgage costs for over a half million is more than I made per month for my adult life, but perfectly acceptable to those that never consider retirement, or understand the taxes, or the cost for utilities for these mansions they're building.

    Too many government employees expect their income to always be there, the costs of living adjusted with raises, and for lowly taxpayers like me to keep them happy. As my boss would say: "I can feel for you, but I can't reach you."
