These people are so out of touch with reality. The classism is insane. ~50k is the average wage across all workers. People are raising whole families on 50k. It's not luxury by any means, but for a young 20 something, it's not poverty either.
Comparison is the thief of joy - I am at 145 and I think that’s low
70k is a great starting wage for a single person. Many jobs out of undergrad still begin around 50k.
It’s average, and this app is anything but. However, it’s recoverable. Just start looking for a new job- you’ll probably find one at 1-2 years out of school.

They paid me 40k when I started working. I wasn’t in consulting and I also didn’t know how much I should have been making. Research helps
I was quite proud to have 70k when I got it.
I still see it as a good salary even though I make more than that, though.
