If I gave you 100k to spend on visible identity stuff how would you spend it? (you *must* spend it on visible identity, not basic expenses — so rent doesn’t count, but moving to fancier neighborhood for 2x makes 1x of it count; plastic surgery counts, cancer treatment doesn’t)

Median cost of common middle-class identity goods: House: $270k College education: $25k New car: $20k* (guess) Phone: $580** Video game: $60 TV/movies/music: $50/mo Novel: $10 News: $0 * mean is actually over 40k now 🤯 ** also mean, but here reasonable to assume mean=median
