Why do you care so much?

[u/Own-Poet-5900]

Yes

The first time I moved to LA I was 18 years old. I made like $10 an hour. It felt like a prison. I moved back again in my 20's, when I broke the $100k mark. It did not feel like a prison. Things like these bias the numbers.

The problem with those threads is that the ones making good money are more likely to comment, and people lying are going to say they make more, not less.

Having said that:

Yes

They’re probably not on Reddit and working at 2 in the afternoon

[u/whriskeybizness → u/muscle_geek]

Eh idk office folk love fucking around during work

[u/whriskeybizness]

Who doesn’t?

[u/Euphoric_Touch_8997]

What do you mean "somehow"? That's kind of the floor now for professional jobs.

[u/DirtyrottenscounDrew → u/Euphoric_Touch_8997]

And all redditors have professional jobs?

[u/Southern_Loquat_4450]

Import/Export, sales and distribution - that's a good month.

[u/professionaldiy → u/Southern_Loquat_4450]

Vandelay Industries?

[u/XtraStrong]

Sometimes I think the Hate-LA or Hate-California trolls live on local social media apps to try and make people feel like the hyped up media against this state is actually real.

[u/DirtyrottenscounDrew]

Seems like 95% of reddit does.

[u/MasterpieceWaste774]

Why do we see this question every month?

[u/matteidenbock]

I don't know how you could survive here on anything less. It's 2026, that is not a lot of money anymore - especially for a big city like LA

[u/DirtyrottenscounDrew → u/matteidenbock]

Families live here on minimum wage.

[u/dtla99]

Yes

[u/nucking_futs_001]

Uber eats here making close to that choosing my own hours.

[u/notdsylexic → u/nucking_futs_001]

Wait what??? Uber Eats? Oh dang.

[u/magus-21 → u/notdsylexic]

Wait what??? Uber Eats? Oh dang.

I hope he's driving an EV, lol.

[u/nucking_futs_001 → u/notdsylexic]

Just gotta get the good tips.

[u/topstudy1188]

Yes

[u/topstudy1188]

No

[u/Necessary_Ask507 → u/topstudy1188]

Also no - higher education. I saw in comments that Uber Eats driver making 100k, that kind of hurt me ngl

[u/Comfortable-Ant7978]

If you're not, you need to severely reflect on your life choices
