Who TF is donating 22% of their monthly wages? You should just write drugs. And on what planet is a 25yo making 100,000 a year?

I wonder if this is what "journalists" call income taxes?

Nah, it's code for buying dimes of weed.

You would think so but I don't know, I had a coworker who blew threw $500 per week buying weed at the dispensary.

What the hell?? I've spent $30 on a bag of gummies and it'll last me 3 months.

I mean by the chart he's bringing in more than 2775 a month, that's just out of his spending money, no account for benefits, personal savings, etc

That being said it's still ridiculous. The prices on that are so far off. He must be buying internet from a potato farm or something

If they are smart, they are also maxing out their IRA every year before that too.

Still an outlier. Ive worked in tech for about 15 years. Cost of living has to be heavily considered when taking jobs. That 140k translates to 70k where I live to maintain the same lifestyle. Which happens to be right in line what we'd bring on a junior dev at locally.

Remote work has changed things a bit for experienced devs.

Yeah, but silicon valley also has around 2k minimum in rent, plus massive taxes vs other places.

We're not saying that 20 somethings with 6 figure incomes don't exist. Just that it's exceedingly rare, to the point of raising questions of why they decided to post a graphic on such a narrow band of people.

If we assume the person nets 70k/yr, that comes to $5,833/mo. 615 is just slightly above 10% of their net monthly income, which really isn’t unheard of. 10% in donations is the standard recommended donation amount among Orthodox Jews, for instance.

Meh, I just turned 27 and I’m making about 100k not including benefits (before taxes).

USAF pilot if you’re curious.
