> I moved from SF to Utah in ~2018, and managed to buy a few rental properties since then, and despite my "income" not keeping pace with my peers in the city my wealth is exceeding them. So the first thing is, the money argument is holding less water every day that goes by.

This is hilarious. You don't have to worry about the financial aspect of your job when you can collect extra income every month as a landlord.

It doesn’t mean I don’t have to work, but it does mean I could take a job working at Wendys, continue to save money, and not be financially ruined. When your only source of income comes from one place your employer has a great deal of leverage.
