If you are skilled in The Bay - you can easily make $500k+ per year.

Saving $700 per month on food would not be a consideration for almost anyone at that income.

At the $500k+ budget - almost all companies are paying 10-15% less if you move elsewhere - at which point - financially alone - it rarely make sense to leave.
