Dude. You make 165k. More money isn't going to make you happy. A job is a job, and you have a damn good one. What else is going on in your life besides that?

I legitimately can't up vote this enough. What kind of shitty society do we live in where making an insane amount of money isn't good enough?!?

  It's not that insane an amount of money for the amount that he is contributing to his company and factoring in things like cost of living.

"A job is a job, and you have a damn good one" Please don't forget the cost of living before assuming the OP is some privilegiado who is unhappy being filthy rich. According to this (http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=United+States&city=San+Francisco%2C+CA http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country...) a 1 bedroom apartment outside the city runs 31.5k a year thats about 20% of OPs salary. If he wanted a 3 bedroom in the city it would run 78k a year. By comparison someone living in Berlin will pay about 8k a year for rent of a 1 bedroom in the city. So his 165k is roughly like someone earning 40k a year in Berlin. This isn't exact of course because of other factors such as utilities, food, etc, but comparing these costs to other locations it does look to be more expensive on these factors as well.

  >This isn't exact of course This is very far from exact. You're comparing a city with particularly high real estate costs to one with relatively low real estate costs (for the size of the city). Spending 20% of gross on rent is not particularly extreme, and factors like utilities, food, travel, and so on are not going to have remotely the multiplier that real estate does when comparing costs to Berlin. Yes, 165k in SF is not like 165k in Berlin, but for a person without dependents it still leaves a lot of room for large savings or expensive luxuries. The median household income in SF is just $78k.

  Ok lets do some math. Lets take out 40% for taxes. This is a high number since the the whole number isn't taxed at 40%. That leaves you about 120k. Supposed the OP has a 1br apt so 120-32=88K. So 88K > (40K-8k). So some who is making 165k is pretty well off even in SF.

I know fresh grads that make more than that in cash + stock + bonus (stock in a large public company, which is liquid). Of course, these are top students at top universities (and they don't have the startup upside), but still.
