Right. When I worked for Facebook in Boston my partner and I each paid $1500/month for a 2/1 in Cambridge. In-unit dishwasher but coin-op laundry in the basement. I also drove a 10-year-old Nissan.

Maintaining a (grad_student)++ standard of living while working at big tech means your savings go up fast.

Alas, my current monthly mortgage is certainly not $1500.
