How much salary is needed to be able to walk into Starbucks with family without constantly being unnerved by the thought of the bill that will come?

Answers to this will be very subjective and it actually has nothing to do with the amount of money you are making. I recently shopped at ZARA for the first time in my career of 15 years. Not because I couldn’t afford it but because my priorities were different. I wanted to build my house, buy a car and invest for my future before indulging in fancy but depreciating items. However in ZARA store I saw many young girls, must be in their mid twenties, buying 10-15k worth of dresses guilt free. I remember when I was a fresher, a guy in my batch had bought MacBook on EMI so it’s all about mindset. I still wouldn’t waste my money on Starbucks but I would happily spend a bomb on a personal trainer because that for me is an investment in my health. It’s all about priorities
P.S - I’m a woman so ZARA is a big deal :)

I make around 30, never felt even comfortable walking alone into a Starbucks store. I'm not telling everyone in my salary range would feel the same. Different people have different perceptions.

I don't see value, either in taste or status going to a Starbucks.

Depends on what you find happiness in. I'd happily spend a fortune on Decathlon.

Your perspective. That's what I am trying to imply: your salary : the brand (and your propensity to spend a bit/lot) on it.

If you want to have a huge lavish (whatever they really sell) beverage and sides vis-a-vis a small portion. I think anyone can do the latter, while the former requires some consideration (again function of your disposable income). On the other hand, it depends: would you be happy to go on and have a proper spend there/would you be happy to just step foot inside the store.. as in what qualifies as a satisfactory interaction with Starbucks.

On an average it's rather difficult to quantify.
I am equating this to Decathlon. I'd probably end up spending an inordinate amount on gear from there/vis a vis not too much from I dunno: M&S? Neither of the two reflect my actual spend ability. Stupid for the first choice and too miserly for the second

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
