I don't even see how people are making it. I'm in the top 5% but I can only afford an average/below average house if I buy responsibly. how does that even make any sense?
I want more money and I want more out of life.

The housing situation on the west coast is loony, good luck with that. You are being taxed at a loony rate, good luck with that. You are being managed by loons who will surely fuk it up even worst in the near future, good luck with that. Have you considered moving to a state not run by literal marxist?
At that income you'd save thousands and thousands by bypassing a state income tax.**Florida Crew**

Based on knowing zero about op other than that he’s a miscer........I’m going to assume it’s this.
In b4 he goes clubbing 3x per week, eats out/gets takeout 5x per week, has a bunch of credit card debt from buying crap at the mall/Amazon, and has a way nicer care than he should.Once upon a time:

If you have a spending problem it really doesn't matter how much you make, you'll still end up broke. So many wealthy people end up in bankrupcy. Some get a taste for the finer things in life and all bets are off. For them the idea of even 1st class in a commercial aircraft sounds like a Greyhound bus and so they start chartering flights, then they start rubbing elbows with those who own Leer Jets. Budwiser Bob feels like a king pulling his boat with his King Ranch F250 but Country Club Carl feels that any boat that can be towed by a vehicle to be a dingy and he has a yacht that is a borderline cruise ship. So you feel like a King in your 5-10K sq'ft hosue and someone says "what are your other houses like, oh you only have one". PEASANT.

Warren Buffet has quote: "You don't know whose swimming naked until the tide goes out"
Most consumers are in over their heads and using credit cards and loans for outward appearance of wealth. All of that unwinds when rates increase and we are already seeing that now.6'5" 210 lbs, 10.9% body fat

Because problem is by time you've maxed 401k, HSA, pay for childcare, set aside an emergency savings, keep up with any deferred maintenance on your home or vehicle and pay uncle sam, you have nothing left. Thanks to inflation 200k is the new 100k.

It's taken 28 years for inflation to cut the dollar's value in half. If someone hasn't gotten a raise in 28 years, they're doing something really wrong...

$200k consistently is a fukton of money in my world. I live in a city of 1million+, and the only people I know who make $100k+ consistently are immediate coworkers.
That said, it is very possible and even easy to overspend on $200k if you have the antithesis of discipline. Make good money, live like you’re making half of the actual, limit bad debt, build up an asset base, and you can start relaxing moreso 5-10 years down the road.
The big gains in the real world come when you get that asset base on the side of your regular income and it gives you flexibility to be opportunistic, benefit from asset inflation, and make more money — it can very much have a snowball effect. The prudent people I know who make $80+/hr, they have rental properties and investments and all sorts of stuff accumulated over the years.

Buy a 4plex with an FHA loan, live in 1 unit and rent out the other 3. Your tenants will pay all or most of your mortgage, so with the money you save from that, put that all towards maxing out a Roth IRA that's invested in index funds / stocks. After about a year you could probably buy another property and rent out the unit you were living in. Rinse and repeat.

I feel you bro.
Part of the problem is you're trying to buy responsibly. These retards around us have totally f*cked the housing market by paying 55% of their gross toward their mortgage. I sh*t you not, that's what's happening. People are simply buying above their means irrationally and it's making it impossible for those of us trying to spend responsibly to get the value we otherwise should be able to get.
All of these people shoving so much of their income into their 30 year mortgage are going to end up with $0 savings and have to work until they die. Right now it's all fun and games cause they got themselves a nice house but these f*cking retards will absolutely get what's coming to them one way or another dead ass srs.
It's stuff like this why I 100% hate people. The stupidity is simply off the charts and now I'm being impacted by their stupidity. F*ck them.
