> Not bad for a 20 yo seeking independence, but humiliating for a 25 yo and a complete failure for a 30 yo.

I was truly taken aback by how out of touch this comment is. A 50% cut to a $9600 monthly salary is $4800, or $57,600 annually. This is above median US household income, and close to double median personal income. It's not "humiliating" or "a complete failure" by any stretch of the imagination.
