Just saw a post about someone making $200K in SF and still feeling broke. The comments were full of "just move then." Easy to say when your job, friends, and kid's school are all tied to one zip code. High income locked with high cost isn't wealth, it's just expensive survival.
Just noticed my grocery bill went up 30% this year but my paycheck didn't. Everyone's talking about AI replacing jobs while we can't even afford groceries anymore. Priorities feel a bit off.
