750k is a lot in the real world... then you move to the Bay Area and run into the cost of living issues: rent, transportation.
It's very hard to find housing under $2k a month per person -- so if you make $7k a month and have X left after it you're going to be surviving on 75-100k a month... but it's like getting paid $50k in Atlanta: small apartment, decent food but no savings or big Hawaii trips.
- marincounty 12y agoThe rent in the Bay Area is a huge problem. If was starting out my 5th person would be a homeowner who would let me use their garage, and a few bedrooms in exchange for stock in the company, and maybe a little help around the house? We seem to be, as Americans, too concerned with the right living situation? I've lived in a garage and couldn't care less. My dates did though? But the ones who looked beyond the rust stuck around for the finished product.
