The point is that you don't get to keep much of it. Basically, unless you're making >$200k or so (which is def possible and not st all unreasonable for engineers or management out here) , you might be able to save more post-tax post-expenses elsewhere.

The real game to be in here is real estate. Don't mine the gold, sell the shovels.

But people who will basically never be able to make that kind of money don't have that dilemma.

And the "game" for them is simply to survive.

Isn't that a strawman argument though? The discussion is around engineers making the most out of their salary so why would be lump in folks with different education / jobs?
