>How a $500k/Year AI Engineer Lost Everything Apparently they saved no money and went homeless in a matter of months (?!). People who work in mcdonalds putting the fries in the bag do not earn 500k/yr and somehow manage to avoid homelessness. It is quite telling that they blame the AI rather than themselves.

Somehow people make 500k a year and end up broke and I know families making 60k with 3 kids and they are still saving and getting by. https://irrationalanalysis.substack.com/p/its-just-money-its...
