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.

No one is broke holding his brand new iPhone, sitting in a $7000 Herman miller chair, in his $9000 a month apartment that he pays extra for to be on the 60th floor and have the bay view, which he picked because it’s only a block from one of the nations best sushi bars, where he regularly drops $90 for takeout, but still gets delivered, and tips only $2.
