After Taxes (federal) Taxes (state) and Rent (insane) more then half of that 100k you reference is gone. Without a gold spoon it's not as easy as you make it seem. Food for thought, I had more disposable income making 65k/Year in Florida then I do making Far more in the Bay Area. I'm not saying that there are not benefits to living here but it's not a golden ticket. Also, clearly you don't have a family to support.

Though I am helping my dad buy a house. > Without a gold spoon it's not as easy as you make it seem. What do you mean? I definitely don't have a golden/silver spoon, but have been able to save up a good amount despite ludicrous NYC living & taxes.
- kenrikm 12y agoI'm not quite sure you know what the "prototypical HNer" is I live in the Bay Area, I know a lot of people who also spend a lot of time on HN, if I were to make a guess my sample size is larger then yours and I think your assumptions are off but I'll leave it at that.
- morgante 12y agoCould you explain? I'm alway interested to know how my assumptions are wrong.
