My insurance is that high because it’s brand new and it’s my first car

The average person can’t manage debt. Yes, if your investment returns are consistently outpacing any interest payments, having debt is fine, but the average person isn’t smart enough and doesn’t have the spare time to maneuver their finances like that.
Dave Ramsey’s advice is good for normal people. There’s better ways to manage your money, but if you’re an average person whose goal is financial stability, he offers really good advice.

Get a better job? Idk lol.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you're paying a mortgage on two homes, one you're renting out and one you're living in? As a rule of thumb, you shouldn't be spending more than 30% of your net income on rent/taxes/mortgage. You can fudge that a bit, but right now you're at 69.3%, which is way too high.
So idk maybe you could sell that other house while the market is hot? Then your property expenses would be down to ~$2600 a month (your maintenance expenses would also go down), and while you'd lose that rent income, your new payments would only take up 57.7% of your new monthly income. That's still a lot, and it's $1900 left over a month instead of $2300 per month, but you'd have a huge chunk of cash from the home sale to play around with/invest with.
I'm assuming so much about your situation right now, and I'm not a professional financial advisor, so don't take this as real advice. You could really just skip all of this and start looking for better jobs and raising the rent on the place you're renting out.

The joke is that $4000 is for one house that I'm renting out 3 rooms for because Codecel Valley housing prices are ridiculous. The other joke is that a good chunk of the rent income is going towards paying down the home equity loan for the downpayment so my cash on hand is even less.

Darn so your total property expenses are even higher?
You live in Silicon Valley but you’re only taking in $4500 a month? Idk man… it seems like you’ve made some odd choices. If you’re a codecel, look into some remote work gigs for extra money. If you don’t have time for that, then you should really look for a new job.

4500 a month after taxes (125000 pre tax yearly) is average entry level codecel income last time I checked. And thats not counting the tax rebates yet. But the housing prices make me think that youre not supposed to get one here until well into senior positions.

$4500 a month is $54000 yearly. There’s no fricking way you’re losing $71000 a year in income taxes. There’s no way you’re paying more income taxes than you’re actually earning. Your math must be way off.

Lemme just lay out my 2-week paystub to put some more detail, sorry for being vague.
Deductions:
401k - $1400 ish
Insurance - 250 ish
Federal taxes - 820 ish
State taxes - 250 ish
4800 - 1400 = 3400 - 500 = 2900 - 820 = 2180 bimonthy.
401kmaxxing gets me $5000 back when filing taxes, so that's something I guess.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but it sounds like you're just looking for an opportunity to call someone names. If that's what you're into, then have fun, but I'm not going to waste my time with someone who's just looking to start a fight.

I don't know what
@HeyMoon taught his robotic child to make it reply to everything in an aggressive and combatitve tone regardless of context but it works darn near flawlessly. Dramatards can't help but fight with it to exhaustion and it will always get the last word. I can't tell you how badly I want to see it fight with pizzashill.
