Californian here, six figure plus salary, 401k, benefits, soon-to-be eligible for pension, living in poverty in the bay area.

Other states-ians, what's it like to have money? What's dat dere disposable income like?

What's it like to be able to go out on a date every weekend?

What's it like to own a home with a front, and back yard?

What's it like to be in an area with a good education system and safe neighborhoods, in case I want to wed a sloot and spawn humans?

What's it like to do fun stuff on the weekend, not living check-to-check, or cheque to cheque, for you Brit cats?

Aware me on these feels misc.

Maybe you suck at saving money.

Do you smoke, drink at bars and insist on having a new car?
You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you're a god or a total bastard. The iron always kicks you the real deal. It's the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. I have found it to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But 200 pounds is always 200 pounds.

Smoke pot only, but that expense is just over a c note a month. Don't drink more than two days a month.

Don't have a new car, but have a nice car I am paying for. That is my only "treat" type expense and one I account for along with my bills. I really don't do a lot of spending, because I can't afford to.

lmfao. Haven't been there in years but imagine it's a dump. Used to go out and blaze with a girl that was into me but I was too oblivious to move on it til it was too late. Good times.

Californian here. Yes, cost of living is more, but so are our salaries. If you buy online, you're buying chit for the same price people who make half of what we make (on average) are paying. It all evens out. They pay less for property/rent/etc, we in turn receive more $$ and spend more on property/rent/etc. This is why a lot of people move out of the state to retire after working their whole lives in CA, or move mid career after they have a ton in savings.

The higher salaries don't bridge the COL gap sufficiently, that's something that if you google, you will find is more or less a consensus conclusion.

How are you living though? You gotta have a nice place (big rent expense) if you make six figures but are broke, no?
Your schtick sucks and it screams insecurity.

It does enough where the cost of living in CA isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Where though?


I pay 2k for a 1 bedroom and that's a BARGAIN. North Bay. In the city this same pad would be 3500 easy, more depending on the area.

Nah, its a small apartment 2k a month, plus a few hundo for utilities. I mean I make enough to cover, but I want to be able to day/swing trade thousands, have a fat savings stash, go out on town night and and night out, live the Misc Dream boyos. (Like the american dream, misc edition)

Well you're living in one of the most expensive places in the state...

I pay 2k for a 2bedroom in Huntington Beach. It's luxurious, brand new, lots of amenities, no utilities unless I go over $200/month. I've looked at similar places in other states and it's around $1k. The salary for my job in said places are about 60-65% of the CA salaries. While not completely evening out, it's close.

What is your rent if you don't mind me asking?

Nvm you answered. Your doing it wrong. I pay 1.8 for 600 sqft in La Jolla. Barely making 6 figures and I live comfortably. What you spending on food? How often you going out/ordering in?

I swear you Cali *******s are fkin retarded with money. I make $70k in Chicago and can easily save $1k/month in addition to my 401k match. If you make six figures you make at least $30k more than I do. Even if your rent is $1k more per month and food is more expensive you should still be able to save as much as I do if not more.

Opie is a ****ing idiot. He pays over 2k a month for a ****ty apartment and wonders why he's broke.

I rent a room in 3 bedroom bachelor pad in Long Beach for $500 a month. I commute an hour into the city for work and come home to my cheap apartment. People who make lots of money and complain about not being able to save always have stupid ****ing living arrangements. No **** if you decide to get your own apartment in an expensive part of the city you won't be able to afford it.

If you wanna save money then learn to live frugally. If you're going to live at the limits of your means don't act upset when you're perpetually broke.

Get a roommate, get a cheaper place, move to a less "hip" and more cheap city or burb. I have no pity for people who have an expensive living arrangement when they could humble themselves.
