The key is to not live in a tech hub or hcol area. You can make a great salary in the 200-300k range in lower cost of living areas and basically live like royalty.

Between the tech industry particularly leaning well towards remote work and the US being predominantly rural countryside geographically, more people should consider not living in the big cities where housing and costs of living are exponentially higher.

Especially if you bought your house at least 3-4 years ago.

My employer forces me to go to the office, which is in a HCOL area.

Maybe after I get my green card I can get a pay cut and move to a LCOL area. But again, is it worth it? I can also get a fully remote job and move back to my hometown by the mediterranean.
