if one lives in a HCOL area and does not have family to pay for their living situation, the choice can be move to another state or get a FAANG salary.

Getting rent raises that are 1000% higher than annual salary raises, childcare costing like renting another apartment each month, per child, has become the norm

Spend enough time in a major US metropolin and you figure its about 50/50 people with very high income, and people who's family is funding their lifestyle

As someone who lived in SF on around 90k a year, I am doubtful this is true even if that was a few years back.
