    Uh, if you’re struggling making $150k a year you’re just piss poor at managing money. My wife and I make less than that and have almost paid off everything and we are about to go pay cash for a new vehicle in the $70k range.

    Wtf are those goons doing?!?

      Yes and no. I lived in the Bay Area of California, 150k salary would not fly in some parts. Fifteen years ago I knew a gal in college that lived in SF, she and 3 others were splitting $5k a month for a pretty standard 3/2 house.

      I now live in small town Texas (much happier). For $150k a year I could live like a king.

      Having medical problems. Paying for kids in college. Surviving past financial mistakes they made when they were younger and not as informed.

      Or trying to live meagerly in California.
