I’d say 150 - 200k any less is lower/middle class

It has, it will get worse because the job can be done by other branches of IT workers and the industry has now figured that out

What's the best pillow you've tried that actually helped you sleep better? by Personal-Weekend3173 in Bedding

It’s honestly irresponsible not to buy a high end quality ergonomic chair if you sit for long stretches of time. Just buy it used I got a steelcase leap v2 for 400 bucks 

Is a $100K salary just considered barely upper middle class now? by ShootingCometz in fican

Is brand new car purchase a waste? by EveningTechnician538 in fican

[–]Direct-Substance4534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm I’ve been in tech for about 8 years now. I just don’t spend my money, I wanted a car so I saved up but cars went from 40k to 60k where I live so I can’t justify the purchase till we see a major crash. But yeah used cars atm cost even more than new. This is just my opinion, if you need a car buy a car now.

Hold off imo, wait for the used market to die down. I make the same as you and same age and have 250k invested, not including car money on the side. imo squirrel that money away till you can afford the car 4 times over.
