		owyn on March 30, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Big Tech Company Salaries Are Hurting Startups In California/SF the net take-home is about 8k/month on that salary. Average 1 bedroom rent is about $3000. Knock down another ~1000 per month for average things like a car, parking, phone, internet etc and your spendable take home is about half the actual paycheck. Congrats, you're really making $50k a year!

You mean, you're saving $50k/year, minus what you spend on fun. And yeah, congrats! That's quite a bit better than most people.
