For some reason it seems native Hindi speakers use “less” in an incorrect way like this and I’m curious to know why. It’s as if there is a word meaning “insufficient” but commonly gets translated to “less”

It's a direct translation. Hindi has a word that translates to "less" which is grammatically correct when used in Hindi within this context.

More than enough to live in SJ

Bay Area rule of thumb, 150k + per adult and you should be able to afford middle class standard of living. Can’t have kids though.

160k is fine for San Jose. Assuming you don't have any dependents, you'll be very comfortable.
