Life is just so expensive, like even the basic things that shouldn't be classed as luxurious (eg. Having a car, renting/getting a mortgage) that I don't know how a single person would manage to have these things and not have to share the costs with someone unless they're on an insanely high salary. I just feel at such a loss with life right now

A U.S. household at 95th percentile has an income of $295,000.
I tend to see the phrases "tech", "quant" and "VHCOL" as bait indicators though.

Wow, friend, it sounds like you have a pretty low opinion of people who don't make a lot of money! I'm so glad that you are doing so well financially, but we need to remember that not everyone is as fortunate as you are. Just because someone doesn't make a lot of money doesn't mean they are bad with money. In fact, the Bible has a lot to say about money and how we should use it. For example, in Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus says, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." This is a great reminder that we should be focused on things that are eternal, not just things that will make us rich here on earth. So, even if someone isn't making a lot of money, that doesn't mean they are bad with money. It just means they have a different priorities than you do.
