    I would have thought a good job with high education in biotech would be lucrative. Do you not earn enough of is your cost of living that high?

      I know people making $250k who are “paycheck to paycheck” because they live an hour outside of San Francisco. So I believe it’s possible.

        Damn! I live close to Zürich, Switzerland which usually ranks high for most expensive places globally, so I thought I knew what high costs of living were, but paycheck to paycheck on 250k USD, that’s insane. And with that much of a commute too!

          I mean…I know them. They could definitely shave some fat from the ol’ budget. But San Francisco really is insane. I wish it were affordable, I do love it there.
