That's part of why I'm not sure I want to move to SF. I'm from somewhere that is barely considered the suburbs of Chicago and my girlfriend is from a small farm in Iowa and I'm worried we wouldn't fit in. People spending lots of money kinda makes me uncomfortable.

Yeah - 'young girls with older dudes' is not really so much a thing in SF, though it exists.

There are 20 other reasons to be 'weary' of living in SF that are just easier to grasp, like 'rent'. Also - maybe I'm wrong but when I lived there it felt like 3 guys to every girl. At least the way social networks work because they are so tech-focused.

But materialism is what it is ... so yes, you'll get some negative aspects from having clusters of money.

I'm sure it'll be a different culture but that's part of the fun. My only advice would be to take promises of future buckets of money with a grain of salt.
