Uhhh... you're making a six figure salary. You can live comfortably here on a fraction of that... I'm doing it. Granted, I'm in a studio, but I walk to work and am paying somewhere around 25% or so gross. Particularly if you're not in the city center, that's fine for a salary. I have friends making 70s who have their own condos.

Posts like this where people are worried about COL with some salary putting them in the top 5% of earners really do come off as humble brags. I'll assume it's unintended in this case but it can really come off as obnoxious
