- chc 10y agoAre you criticizing the employees for wasting their money on frivolities like a one-bedroom apartment?
- vox_mollis 10y agoLiving in SF is a choice, for technologists. In addition to the absurd rent, there is also the lifestyle nominally associated with the choice to live in SF. The bars, the restaurants, the nightlife, the shows, etc.
- serge2k 10y agoIt's a perfectly valid choice to take advantage of that when you don't have a family and all the associated responsibilities yet.
- ProAm 10y agoLook at all the baby boomers now who 'didn't save enough to retire', it's crazy to spend 50% of your income on rent.
- _ao789 10y agoI fully agree. Personally I would hate to spend 50% of my earnings on a rental property month after month. Suppose there's not all that much that can be done about it given the constant population growth and everybody wanting to be close to urban centres. Makes it very competitive.
- _ao789 10y agoI say: save while you can, when you start a family you will save a Lot less
- ProAm 10y agoI fully agree. Making a great salary with a great job, probably working really hard, save that so when the time comes you are ready for your next adventure or family and not still worried about your 3.5k/mo rent. Hindsight is always 20/20.
