My friggen fuck Batman.

Seeing those jumps between every 25th percentile is insane.

$11k, to $200k, to $500k, to $2.5 MIL.

Sheesh every tier up really is that much richer. We live in a society. Feels weird that the lower tier really is THAT poor, and the tier above is me is THAT rich. I can't think of how this is possible except for a small % of people in very high-demand, tech jobs or who inherited the wealth.
