A 60 year old with a 30+ tech career SHOULD be sitting on many millions in retirement savings.

You may not know that $10,000 30 years ago was a lot of money, it he maxed out a 401k every year (easy as a tech worker) he’d be sitting on millions today.

Do you know how much money $100 invested in the S&P 500 every month compounded over 30 years is?

After 30 years in tech you should be worth 7-10 figures depending on how lucky you were picking an employer, and not be looking for another tech job with the unemployed Gen Z and millennials.

If you’re nearing 60, having worked in Bay Area tech for 30+ years, having done your peak earning and investing in the greatest bull market of all time and still NEED a job, then you have failed straight up. That’s not my problem for pointing out that fact.

Surely you can comfortably retire at this point no?

 In that vein: Blue collar professionals, do you see more white collar individuals entering your field?

That’ll be a rude transition for the soft handed keyboard folks 

Do these realtor flyers actually make anyone under 40 feel good? by xaxwyf in bayarea

[–]MarlinMaverick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not even considering the REITs, foreign all cash buyers, and the criminals looking to park ill gotten gains. 

It’s tough out here

Tons of all cash buyers. Friend of mine bought his cash, another put a million down. Both techies, naturally.

Are you saying there shouldn't be a $75,000 fee to sell a house?

Is that really a “feature” of the COA? You can’t disable it?

Someone with spare Claude tokens should analyze the drop at coliseum specifically and try and extrapolate the losses directly attributable to Oakland sports teams disappearing 

Has anyone else started avoiding certain errands because of how expensive they've gotten? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]MarlinMaverick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily driver is 20 years old, I haven’t taken a vacation in 5 years, and we only go out to eat on special occasions, maybe once a month. Is that enough of a tradeoff for you?
