Low salaries in the bay area

Who here has a low salary in the bay area? How low? Are you living comfortably enough? How do you do it? Just transitioned to a non profit I'm excited about but took a huge pay cut. TC: 62500 9YOE live in SF

Yeah, literally I know Uber driver’s who make more 👀

No way I’d live here on that salary. What’s your rent? Maybe if you’re in a dual income household it’s ok.

Yeah luckily I live with my wife and she can hold it down a bit

Oh well yeah, that's different if it's the lower of two incomes

160k combined is fine if you are young and unmarried. Not enough to put down roots and start having kids, but that might not be on the radar yet or at all
