Listen, I think I get your point, that even high earners are wage slaves. Doctors and lawyers exit college with decades of debt.
But you can’t say it was never about how much you earn. Some people, and I’ve been in this spot, can’t buy groceries. High earning wage slaves will have decades of debt, but food isn’t an issue.
Prana jeans might fit the bill. Their Carlsbad straight leg is pretty good. You’d have to check the sizes. I’ve had some jeans for 8+ years from them.
