my company mostly used coworking spaces which they promptly moved out of when the pandemic hit and went full remote so in that respect i've got a fairly decent setup going on. the work is really very dull though. no family here because lol at the idea that i'd find anybody who'd want to put up with my bullshit on the daily and beyond paying way too much in rent in boston my hobbies and expenditures are basically nil. saving close to half my monthly paycheck. maybe some day i'll figure out what to do with the saved money, perhaps i'll buy a place to live once things become a little clearer wrt the long term viability of remote work. i'm kind of an optimist because they allowed that genie to float around outside the bottle for almost three whole years and they're going to have a hard time stuffing it back in long term now that people have gotten properly used to it. the minute the job market heats up again people are going to ditch in-office jobs like a radon-flooded basement. well, that's the hope anyway, idk if i want to take a ~$500k bet on that one way or the other right now.

in spite of bubble exploding I’m going to look around soon as I will hit 4 years in a few months and I’m bored with the subject. but it’s looking like what I designed might be wildly successful so I’ll stick around long enough to get some hard numbers. been full work from home for 3 years now and hope to find another.

i legit have no idea how people spend their full six and a half figgies. like i just took nearly a full month vacation overseas, staying at nice hotels only to come back to my yearly bonus being deposited into my account and covering the whole thing and then some. i’ve been steadily saving up money literally in spite of my best efforts

but yeah i get what you mean in a sense. other than buying a home, i think i would be literally unable to spend all my money at this point. i could throw out all the landlords stuff and buy luxury appliances and all new furniture and an even fancier computer or whatever, and i'd still be saving money. i guess at that point to spend it all i'd need to start eating out at extremely fancy restaurants multiple times a week and going to weird boutique exercise classes and hiring a personal trainer or something idk. i have a friend here who spends more on pilates classes than i do on rent. that kind of thing

and they all got their financing a couple years ago when audi came on their knees with a 1.2% rate so they'll either have to chuck even more at the note next car, or downgrade, and well, lol
