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
Even janitors make more. Bart janitors can make up to 300k!
Lol! I agree, My husband was in San Mateo for 5 years 2013-18 with 135k and still felt the same 😂😕🙊
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.
How many roommates do you have?
1
There’s part of the problem. You’re probably paying too much in rent.
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?
