If a person with no kids can't survive off of $30k-$60k a year, they're doing something wrong.  Hell, my mom was a single mother and she never made anywhere near $40k and se still kept food on the table... and we were both obese back then so there was actually excess food on the table.  These game devs sound like a bunch of crybabies imo.  The should try bringing their lunch to work or getting a $1 McChicken/McDouble rather than starting every day with a $5 Starbucks latte and a $7 bagel, spending $10 for lunch and then capping it off with a $14 sushi dinner.

You also may just want to buy your standard $2-3 a gallon Kroger brand milk rather than going to Whole Foods and paying $15 a pint for 100% organic, non-pasturized, squeezed fresh every morning, and guaranteed to have a cow tit hair in every bottle so you know it's ultra fresh milk.

You appear to have no fucking clue what the world is like outside your little bubble so let me paint a not so nice picture for you.

Me, 24 at the time making 80k/yr, At the low end of the income scale for the Small Town <- I live in. Now where I come from that would be the top say 15 20% ish that make that and average income would be about 50k and half the cost of living.

 

Its not about organic food or starbucks its about the cost of living where you live, period.

 

 

They still have decisions. I live out here in LA and there are nice areas that have a higher cost of living for rent and even the restaurants and average price for goods. But There is also less expensive neighborhoods that are but a a short drive away. If they choose to live in the nicer neighborhoods then the cost of living will be a lot more. But they could easily move to a less expensive neighborhood and live comfortably there. Some people are honestly so narrow minded or just oblivious they don't even realize that and they just think that what they make is not enough but the truth is it's just not enough to maintain their same endulgant live style 100%.
