I made 60k for much of my career. I was not in tech and that’s pretty normal. I was in mcol, so sure that made a difference. I managed to buy a condo, support a wife and kid. Perhaps in the Bay Area I could never have done that. As a single person there wasn’t anything I couldn’t do. I travelled many countries, dated, had a decent car, learned languages.
But the fact people here are complaining about 200k and single is pathetic. Get some perspective. Get out of blind. Most people make less than us. Sure I like making money now , but my life hasn’t changed one bit.I live in a slightly bigger home to support my family.
Stop complaining about money. Get some hobbies. Go make friends. Find a job you like. Take a sabbatical. Enjoy your life. Go volunteer. People are making way less than you and surviving. No making more money isn’t a bad thing, but at the expense of the above? It’s nonsense. I get blind is obsessed with tc, which is a big factor. I get we all want to get paid fairly and equally. But I’m talking beyond that. Stop saying peanuts at 60k, 130k., etc. it’s not. Yes in bay and vhcol you are done for, but even at 190 I see people complaining. Move elsewhere if it’s that bad.
Tc 350, much of it at about 60k for 10 years and last three years joined tech and now sitting at 350. I would have probably made 200k for a few more had I joined tech earlier with same skills.

Are you looking inside major cities? Are you trying to be close to a hub? Why you gotta compete for real estate?

Food, shelter, energy. These prices have skyrocketed. Contrary to popular belief you cannot substitute food as the micronutrients are different from type of food to another. There's no true substitute to rising rents either as you simply buy less of it in a sense, accepting worse quality for the money by moving or downgrading.
If you consider inflation to be money supply growth then inflation is insane from that perspective as well.
There is no sane perspective where inflation hasn't destroyed purchasing power.
Plus you are ignoring all the deflationary things like laptops, tvs, phones, phone plans. As well with a lot of stuff that more or less just matched inflation like cars
In some places in the world, 20k is a lot of money.
If you work at a hedge fund, perhaps 600k feels like 🥜.
In tech, it's somewhere in the middle.
Humans in general strive to achieve their potential. We fight to get to the next level. There's nothing wrong with that
