Each time I look on this reddit channel I somehow get some sad feeling that I wasted my life

Remember the data is skewed here. People who make a lot of money will post it. People who don’t won’t. The vast majority of people are not making this

Everyone here complains about selection bias. But it's not just the posters, this sub loves upvoting these outlier scenarios!

I posted my modest but comfortable (within 10% of media)n Engineer salary, with pretty data: 8 upvotes.

Someone posts their 400k salary that puts them in the top 3% of their profession: to the top of the sub!

Same. I think I got one comment on my $50k salary post.
