Way more than most families of 4 in San Francisco actually DO make...

Yes $400-500k

I’d say closer to $700k -$800k. $2M barely gets a house w 3 bedrooms. $2.5-$3M starts to be comfortable.

500k

Or the main point - why on earth would you want to raise a family there. High tax, bad schools, White/bro/tech culture, 14hr flight to Asia or Europe (other culture), sky high property (for crappy quality homes), horrific commute, homeless problem, very behind on the innovation curve outside of tech eg culture, music.

500k to 1mill

Officially the poverty line for a family is <$120k

Realistically you need $500k minimum. We are a family of 3 (two adults, one child) making $350k and can afford to rent a 2bd/2ba outside the city + full time childcare, but cannot afford to buy a house (yet)

like

Average 2bd to rent is around 4K so you can extrapolate from there. Grocery prices are about the same, minus difference in tax. Eating out is about a 40% premium

All the money

About $500k

Lived in SF for four years until last year as we had a kid. I’d agree on $400-500k for a comfortable QoL. More for better schools etc

800-1.2M

Really kind of shocking that management would bring in three pretty conservative speakers. I mean, we know where Rob and they stand, but I thought MYJourney was about building us up as leaders and finding what makes us happy and succeed, not just throwing politics right in our face. Just kind of makes me think the whole MYJourney program is a joke now.
