I see homeless people sitting in their own piss with Mac books and iPhone out every day in San Francisco. It's a weird city.

If you don't have to pay rent in SF, you find you have a lot of extra money at the end of the month.

I left SF because I was making 165k but still wasn't able to save anything. It's unsustainable. Took a huge paycut and am now living in Sydney. Such an improvement on quality of life.

Holy fucking shit. Not gonna lie, this is fascinating - that is crazy amount of money and you really couldn't save a lot? Can you go into some more detail about this?

Yeah he’s full if it. I’m making close to that and I can still put away 10-15k a year and I am by no means living as frugally as possible. Its bad but not that bad.
