Living in an area with million dollar homes and 3k rents, sure.
- pkaye 8y agoUnless you bought your house 10+ years ago for a third the price. So one can make shitty modern react apps for $180k a year with a $300k home you nearly paid off.
- frockington 8y agoIf I could go back in time 10+ years I'd be putting all my money in bitcoin and Netflix
- oreo82 8y agoWhy netflix?
- copperx 8y agoIf only $36,000 of those 180k are going to rent, that's not a bad deal.
- pc86 8y agoThat's sharing a studio with someone or a 1BR with 3 others. When you actually factor in costs by all metrics you're better off making high 5-figures or low 6-figures in any non-urban area than you are being anything but the top 2-5% of software developers in the Bay Area.
- dionidium 8y agoRents in San Francisco are very high -- high enough, in fact, that this silly, obviously-false hyperbole is unnecessary.
- hotpotjunkie 8y agoSo you're claiming studios are $6000 and 1BR's are $9000? You can get a 1000 sqft for < $3000 within a 1 hour commute of SOMA.
- imoverclocked 8y agoA 1 hour commute costs you 2 hours a day. That's almost like working an extra 7 weeks a year with lower productivity and increased wear and tear on you.
- hotpotjunkie 8y agowho's debating that?
- jschwartzi 8y ago2 hours is about how long I spend at the gym every day and I'd hate to give that time up.
- pc86 8y agoIf you're spending more than ~50 minutes at the gym you're doing something wrong.
- kw71 8y agoWhat a deal!
- hotpotjunkie 8y agoWhen you can make $200k straight out of undergrad, yes, it is.
- murph-almighty 8y agoThere was an article floating around earlier this week that goes into the numbers of this: https://priceonomics.com/the-places-in-america-where-all-your-salary-goes/ https://priceonomics.com/the-places-in-america-where-all-you...
- woolvalley 8y agoYou have to add income tax to your calculations. 180k in SF is about %60 of that, which is 108k, so exactly 1/3rd.
