I’m in my early 30s and get 85K a year with benefits. I have a feeling I could be doing much better but I don’t want to leave fort collins. I have 6-7 years professional experience in almost all types of development and software process. I pay like 1K a month in combined living expenses (rent and car payment), and don’t want to work my whole life. Denver and Boulder are booming tech areas but cost of living is super high. Should I move, change jobs, or stay put?
I pay $600 rent in Aurora. Its possible to be cheap near Denver
So did you end up moving ?
How much are you able to save in FT Collins? Seems like you could be saving 50% easily if you made it a priority. If you changed jobs, could you earn more?
