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
