I make $150K not counting stock (which I am holding, not selling) in San Francisco. I don't feel poor. I live a comfortable lifestyle that makes me feel almost rich compared to others, I feel grateful and fortunate. Sure, I am a little frugal, but I am quite comfortable. Obviously my overall outlook probably be a lot worse if I didn't have stock in the picture. But I'm still able to live well and save well with my cash salary, so I don't think "poverty wages" is accurate.
