A household income of $220k puts you in the 95th percentile of income in Chicago[0]. Is the bar for comfortable that you get to rub elbows with Bezos?

No, the bar for comfortable is being able to afford a decent place to raise a family in a decent neighborhood.

I'm not sure why we think this is only something for people who rub elbows with Bezos or for people who bought a house 10 years ago.

If you don't think you can do that with 300K per year then idk what to tell you, your accounting looks very different from mine
