Depends on where people live. 150K a year in cities like New York City or San Francisco 150K is not much of an income. For example, a studio apartment the size of a closet in New York City averages about $3500 a month, while something like a 4 bedroom apartment will run about $7500 a month for just rent. Median rent in San Francisco is around $3000 a month with a 4 bedroom running around $5500. Democrats have raised the cost of living massively.
I own and manage numerous rentals here in the DFW area. Since Biden has come into office I've had to raise rents to cover for the rise in everything from taxes and insurance to repairs and materials. I have a couple of double wide mobile homes I rent out for between $1300 to $1600 a month and that's in Texas out in the country. That's nuts to me but the people are more than happy to pay it.
Hell just to live in our house in Texas it costs almost $1200 a month for just taxes and Insurance, that's with a paid off house. Yea I can easily see how a person making $150K a year is living paycheck to paycheck.
