It's a lot of money and honestly starting to creep into bougie territory. Anyone making 60k better start being careful about accepting their rich get richer raises because 70k is the cut off for when guillotine cut offs start. If you know what I mean.

It's triple the wage of someone making 10.5 an hour. Nobody making 70k is actually producing 3x the value of a cashier who makes only 23k for a full year rs work.

There are plenty of cities in North America alone where 60k USD isn't enough to live comfortably, let alone be "bougie."

I mostly agree with your statement about value of work. There shouldn't be people who make many times as much as anybody else working full time.

But you're looking at this completely backwards. It isn't that $60k/yr is too much, it's that $10.50/h is far too little. NOBODY in the world working full time should be struggling just to survive, or be one paycheck away from complete destitution. We are living in a post-scarcity society; full time work should be enough for everybody to be comfortable.
