Agreed. Needing to “tighten the belt” out of a $200K salary is insane to me. Don’t live in Silicon Valley, and maybe you don’t need to pay four times as much for everything.
I wasn’t able to save or contribute to my retirement until 35 so I’ve been maxing out my 401k, IRA, HSA in order to catch up. Had to lighten up on that. Seattle is expensive yo. I shop at Costco for most of what I cnaget in bulk and Safeway for the non-bulk. Our grocery bill has tripled and same with utilities.

I mean if they work a non WFH in silicon valley they kinda need to live in silicon valley.
