Honestly I think it's SF. It's not just the Rent, it's the expensive public trans, groceries, places to eat, gas, etc.

If you make below $117K in SF you're considered low income.

117 for a family of 4, not a single person.

It's definitely SF, everything else adds up fast ( going to Tahoe for a weekend, dinner and wine, clothes, a regular cafe latte habit etc). If you want to save on an 80k a year job, you really need to have a budget and stick to it.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
