Right, it's a bit of everything. Kind of like "the world is your oyster" feeling. I'm not speaking for everyone, but when I was in my early 20s, I think as long as cash was a net positive (ie. have savings), it was enough so didn't think too much about cost of living and high tax rates. Ofc, we're talking about late 2000s, so living was a bit cheaper.
- 2RTZZSro 8y agoWhat areas have that "the world is your oyster" vibe? Is it just Palo Alto - Mountain View or elsewhere?
- huangc10 8y agoI don't think there is one area specifically. I've actually lived all over the Bay Area. It's more of a sense that you'll be given a lot of opportunities and it's up to you to make the most of it.
- arcticbull 8y agoI mean sure, I had a studio at Post and Leavenworth to myself, newly renovated for $1200 in 2010. That same place went for $1900 in 2012. Now it's $2649 -- I just looked. I think it's fair to say the cost living has changed from the late 2000s.
