> I don't understand, 1,700 per year is nothing.

Welp, good for you for getting the money to roll on in and not be able to understand that most people aren't in that position. Median income, at least in the US, is ~$30k.

$1700 is significant for the majority of folks, not just in the US, but the World. $1700 spent purely on coffee each year is also laughable and/or outrageous to most, when that could cover rent for 1-4 months.

...the hubris on HN lately, regarding high personal income, is too much...
