So the top 10% is a household income of $250K and most of those couples didn’t reach that until their 40s. They aren’t making $225K as an L5 at 25 years old like a former intern/new grad I mentored when I was at BigTech
Most software developers won’t even see above $160K inflation adjusted during their career. Most work in second tier cities in the “enterprise”z.

- mathgladiator 9mo agoThis guy did it: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ on like $65K IIRC The problem is, at core, fear. Fear of taking responsibility for your life.
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoSo exactly how do you “take care” of your insurance if the ACA goes kaput? “Thoughts and Prayers” until you are 65?
- mathgladiator 9mo agoI pay cash for everything right now since ACA plans are terrible... BUT, I am also one of those nut jobs that only eats meat and it is amazing. But, most people can't even begin to imagine giving up carbs as they are junkies.
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoAre you willing to bet that nothing catastrophic will happen to your health before you are 65?
- mathgladiator 9mo agoYes. I will not let fear rule my life.
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoThat’s monumentally not a good idea https://www.cdc.gov/chronic-disease/about/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/chronic-disease/about/index.html 90% of adults will have a chronic condition by the time they are 65. https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/most-common-chronic-health-conditions/ https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/most-commo...
- mathgladiator 9mo agoThat data alone invalidates any idea of insurance being sustainable, it's a sinking ship. I, on the other hand, only eat beef, butter, bacon, and eggs and everything is getting better. BUT, I may be in a cult, but this cult has benefits.
- raw_anon_1111 9mo agoNo insurance is viable because the risk pool includes people of all ages.
- mathgladiator 9mo agoNo, insurance is not viable until we fix metabolic health in the masses. Again, I'm a nut job that has a HbA1C of 4.7 because I only eat beef, butter, bacon, and eggs.
- eru 8mo agoWhy even use pools? Ask your actuary about risks.
