Am I insane? My salary is $100k but I still feel like I cant afford to take vacation or trips, I feel like I can barely save money. I see all my friends in tech traveling constantly and living lavish. what am i doing wrong?
What you’re doing ‘wrong’ is earning $100k. If you want to ‘live lavish’, you need to 5x that at least.
100k is janitor money in SF
San Francisco is the most expensive place to live in... 100k is not sufficient for living there unfortunately
I feel the struggle. At $94,600 and want to move up into $100k and beyond ASAP
How much do you pay in rent?
$1400
There’s your answer $100k and living lavish in $1400 place. Under <$117k household you need to be in a bedroom in house in like Daly City or college house in San Jose for $1k. You could be taking home $5k more a year. Under $200k household your rent can be around $2200 and at $300k household you can do $3500.
For a family of 4. So you have to be taking care of three other people in their entirety.
Cmon... it was a wrong question .. if you are making below 150 k .. you are poor. I was making 200.. still felt.. poor.. moved out of California and now I feel I belong to middle class.
That’s below poverty line in this region.
Where do u live?
San Francisco
It's where you live. Cost of living there is so high! Can you work remotely and live elsewhere?
