The difference is whether or not you're supporting dependents (a spouse or kids).
There are many, many single people making $200k+ and doing just fine. As soon as you add kids into the picture it's not "silly" at all and it shouldn't be dismissed as poor budgeting.
We need to stop blaming individuals and start recognizing that SF and California have created a housing crisis many decades in the making.
- avgDev 8y agoYes housing is super expensive, but owning a house in a SF is not going to be cheap, it is a large city with people making very high wages. I make half of that $300k, and I am living SUPER COMFORTABLY. Even if we consider the difference in housing cost, the person in the article is simply blowing through cash. It seems like they have zero understanding of what saving is. They are trying to live as someone wealthy. This article perfectly describes someone "living beyond their means".
