Op is probably in NY or SF where that doesn't even make you middle class and people who make double that still don't feel rich. $2854 a month would be absolute poverty wages in many parts of the country.
Conversely my company has announced it's not going back to the office ever. I'm tempted to go back to Tennessee where I can live live a king on my California middle class income.
