The first time my bank account had a comma I called my grandmother to celebrate.

When I managed to assemble 5k for the downpayment on my first ever new car, I felt like I had fucking made it in life.

If I had 20k to just throw away on something this trivial I would be a fucking king in my own circles.

Right?

1k isn't huge to me. 5k is a bunch.

20k? That's a solid year of rent and utilities, plus money left over here

When I was younger 20k was my entire yearly income after the government took thier taxes. And I was the richest man in my friend circle by a large margin.

This guy is so elite he looks at what I used to live on as disposable chump change.

Not everyone has a billionaire master like Carlos Slim paying him to lie and spread racial hatred on his behalf, y'know.

It depends. $20,000 for a day or two of work is a lot

This is what Jewish privilege looks like.

I only make $26k in a year, and that's more than enough to pay my necessities AND put 15% away in savings and retirement funds!

Oh yeah, I totally wouldn't care if someone threw 20k in my account. Totally wouldn't make a shitload of difference in my life if I suddenly had 20k spending money aside from my own savings. I'd be able to get all of the music gear I'd want/need, pay rent/insurance for a year, or even take time off of my jobs to pursue something else. I bet this poster talks about other people's privilege too.

I wish I knew of a way I could get 20K in one sweep.

Considering my life has been a lot like the first few minutes of "Up", I'm wondering how long I'll be able to hold on to the paltry sum I do have saved.

Over $6,000/day. Nice work if you can get it. Of course, this workshop would be overpriced at FREE.

Hey Matt, can I have 20k? It isn't much, right?

Not everyone gets paid big bucks to be a propagandist.

This must be that privilege the left harps on about. They should take a look at the level of Jewish privilege in the world instead of only bitching about Whites and Asians all the time.

It's enough that at my company I think our Division Head would need to approve the expense. Even if the workshop were a full work week (which would be long; normally such workshops are 2-3 days), that would be $500/hour for the person leading it. It may not be much in the grand scheme of a business's expenses, but that's also not chump change most companies would want to spend needlessly.

20k is not a large sum in business world

Yes, yes it is. Not "We can't spend it" large, but it certainly is "You're sure we need this? Show me" large.
