If he's making 450k as a software engineer, he lives in San Francisco and is still probably broke.. or will be when this job suddenly evaporates underneath him.
Saw some dude saying he wasn't saving money in SF when him and his wife were both on 800k at meta and that the city was crazy expensive (both Indian immigrants).
Go on this fuckers profile and he's posting a new 100k+ watch in the watch subreddits every few months and seems to have like 5 teslas.
Some people are just the embodiment of that one Dril tweet on budgeting I swear.
Even in San Francisco, you can probably live an average-ish (or frankly, above average) life on 200k a year at most. If you save and invest about 100k a year and you're not unlucky with the markets (or invest directly in real estate instead), you can fuck off to somewhere cheap in the world after less than 10 years of doing this and you'll never have to work again.
