If you’re making 150k and are living paycheck to paycheck you either live in a crazy expensive area or are a total fucking idiot when it comes to managing your money.

Hmmm you’re not going to be making 150k a year in a shit fly over state.

I moved from the Bay Area to the East side of Washington near WA, folks here don’t make as much as I do for sure, at least not on average. We both have good salaries so we can afford a lot of things. We essentially got to keep most of our bay area salaries.

But even then if we need a big repair we still have to sit down and plan out the money.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like for folks around here.

I make 150k/year in Ohio lmao
That’s good what’s your title?

Titles at my company are kinda dumb, but I’m the head of employee development for a manufacturing company

Title is “Talent Development Specialist” which makes me sound like a trainer lol

How many years of experience did you need to get that job?
I have 13 years of experience but my first Directorship was after 4.
