I live in a major US city for $2k/mo. It's not that hard. And if I lived in a cheaper area or city I could be much more comfortable.

I think living on about this income is common for grad students, who mostly live in areas with "opportunity to advance upward".

What city could that possibly be? You must be living in a paid off house and act like everyone has that luxury.

I pay rent. Finding a place to live for under $1k/mo is really only hard in a few cities. In many places you can do better if you can buy.

$2000k = $2,000,000. And sorry, even that isn't enough to live comfortably in SF.

Oops. That's what I get for staying up too late.

I wouldn't wish living in SF on my worst enemy.

I think most of my worst enemies already live there voluntarily.
