I'm a software engineer that works for a company in London. My salary is lower comparatively to many of those a level lower in the US.
I'm looking to move to California soon, where my salary will effectively double, arguably more so since I'll be taking more home.
I can afford a home an hour from work in London. In CA I seemingly can't afford shit, and rent nearby will absolutely wipe me out. It's insane how one can earn the kind of money people can retire on in Europe and barely live a middle-class life. I'm in an extremely privileged position, and given my position I have no idea how others manage to do shit like have families.
I wouldnt come to America until we see how our next election goes
If the Democrats win, you might be okay in a couple years
but if not, moving to California in 2024 is gonna be like moving to Poland in 1938
We are on the precipice of launching into fully unchecked fascism, or starting twenty years of the hardest repair work conceivable in order to make this country worth living in again
Have you considered investing in 1996?

Either a completely garbage lawyer or complete bull-fucking-shit.
Have you tried lawyering harder?
Then sell the supercar and reduce your lifestyle inflation
sell the supercar
Why would I sell my supercar when it's cheaper to afford the payments on a $120k luxury vehicle than a studio apartment.
That rent alone is more than the median salary in the US. Aside from that, to afford living in this apartment you'd need to make roughly $128k salary.
Why does this meme suddenly look like it's in Jeopardy format?
What is crippling depression?
Yeah, well, you know.. those landlords need more money for working so hard.
The price of monthly rent is being weighted by the value of a month's worth of AirBnB day-rentals. That's a big part of what is driving this. Everything is becoming ad hoc hotel space.
Twist: He's one of those lawyers that only gets paid by the client if they win the case, and they're not a very good lawyer.
There are lawyers that operate through contingency fees but you would have to be very foolish to immediately do so as a solo practitioner. Usually a firm will handle the risk but the firm also isn't letting inexperienced attorneys handle those cases due to the risky nature of them.
The legal jobs that are at the bottom of the paygrade are usually government. Prosecution, public defense, administrative. A lot of those jobs have loan forgiveness plans and the usual government job benefits but the pay is a bit down there even compared to what you would get as a first year associate in some firms.
I'm currently sleep deprived and thought they where working as a computer server for a second
I thought it was about a Debian server and they were installing some packages
I've worked through servers, on servers, and in servers but never knew I could work as a computer server!!!
Well we don't call them computer waiters anymore
Cost of housing has absolutely skyrocketed in blue states. I specifically settled down in Alabama because I have a 1400 sqft house 3 bed 2 ba for 550 bucks a month. Suburbs too. Moved away from my home state of California for exactly that reason
There are homes available in blue states for $100k, in the same place you can find them in Alabama.
Anywhere but a city.
Yeah but now you have to live in Alabama
(Joke) I mean, he’s a lawyer. He probably couldn’t afford the apartment if it was still $700.
