I could afford private flights on my salary, for my example, and it’s true: “it’s just more hours.”
The only thing is… I can’t find more hours in my week.
And the real bigger issue is, even through I can afford it, it may be hard to justify it because it amounts to a major opportunity cost.
For a working class family, they probably are going to find it difficult to source $650. …Especially if no one has gone to college and no one even knows the importance of that $650.
If $650 seems like nothing, all that you are saying is that your social group is limited to people who find $650 to be nothing. It’s like the Lucille Bluth banana quote in living…
