I get that and appreciate you calling it out, I'm not blind to how whiny it sounds. FWIW, I don't live in SV or make an SV salary.
I've always tried to stay at 2x the prevailing local wage, so that my wife can stay home and take care of the house and kid with no worry. That's really my only motivation. When you're doing more than 2x, you feel ahead of the curve. When 2x comes at you fast, you start to sweat a little.
But it's not lost on me that I'm lucky to be able to have such an existence.
