That carrot is unobtainable for most people. Janitors, teachers, deli workers, city park employees, dog walkers, babysitters, waiters, waitresses, contractors.

Doesn't matter how well you "manage your finances" if your salary basically has a cap on it. The only ones benefitting are overpaid tech workers supplanting people that do actual tangible work that makes the city tick. Funny that a tech worker posting on the HN playground is addressing people who deal with real life struggles (raising a family, making increasing rent) how to be a "responsible adult."
