The idea that there is not much difference between 200K and 800K per year is absolute nonsense. I feel like its one of those things that are so stupid we are all dumber for having heard it. I don't know if its just one of those things where people on HN seem to virtue signal as if they are the most minimalists, live in 250 square foot tiny houses, live of radishes they grow in their microgrardens or whatever. This is like people that say, "eh, you don't need to make more than $95K."


When I was making 200k, 120k of that was cash.

When I was making 800k, 200k of that was cash.

Like I didn't discount that it gave me the ability to buy a house.

But day to day, week to week, it's the same doordash and the same restaurants, and the same vacations.

It's not like I started getting invited to St. Barths.
