Hey there, fellow budget-conscious individuals! ๐ I often see posts on here seeking salaries upwards of $250K, and it got me thinking โ why the obsession with high compensation? ๐ค Iโm proud to share that Iโm the sole breadwinner in my family of three, earning $120K in Michigan. Yes, you read that right, and yes, weโre not just surviving, but thriving! Living in Michigan, a place known for its reasonable cost of living, Iโve found that a salary of $120K allows us not only to cover our expenses but also to save and enjoy lifeโs pleasures. And guess what? Itโs not about pinching pennies; itโs about making thoughtful financial choices. I understand that in areas like the Bay Area, the cost of living is higher, but even then, is a salary of $250K or more really necessary for a family of three? I believe that a comfortable life, complete with a home and tech-rich surroundings for the kids, can be achieved on a more reasonable budget. So, whatโs the fuss about high compensation? Do these astronomical figures truly provide a better quality of life and work-life balance? Iโm here to challenge the notion and encourage a discussion on financial well-being beyond the numbers. Letโs redefine success and discover the joy of a fulfilling life without breaking the bank. Whoโs with me? ๐ช #BudgetWisdom #LifeBeyondNumbers #finances #compensation

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
