  • Good perspective. Of course in comparison to poor countries, we look rich. But most often we’re not, and you see that play out on 90 day. I’m also over 40 and have faced age discrimination in the job market many times. I have little to no retirement. I’ve been in student loan debt for years. Rent and mortgage costs have tripled over the last couple years. Here in the US no one can even afford to get a car loan because the interest rates have skyrocketed even for those with good credit; and the car prices are out of reach for most people even used. It’s hard out there. People struggle to buy groceries even with an average income.



  • Of course it’s easier in the US than in the Philippines. But it’s not easy here either and that’s a problem on this show with foreigners thinking everyone is rich and money isn’t a problem. Most people I know here in the States are struggling right now. Most have little to no retirement and have almost nothing or literally nothing to put aside every month. I don’t know a single person even over 40 let alone 50 that’s been able to find a job easily. There’s tons of age discrimination.
