Good graph, but metro by metro would be a better indicator. Statewide housing prices don’t tell you a lot - New York state for example varies hugely by neighborhoods within New York City versus different suburbs versus rural areas versus other cities like Buffalo.

Seattle has really boomed over that time, it was a minor city in 1975 and is now a major tech center.

But you won’t be in trouble, just as long as you fairly report and pay taxes on the cash you actually got from them. And if the company is committing tax fraud, they certainly won’t want to attract attention by snitching on you.

If you’re American, it isn’t tax fraud as long as you report your income honestly. If you really have to work there and don’t have an alternative, then keep careful records of what you are paid, and just report that on your tax forms - the fraud comes when people are paid cash or run a cash business and then don’t report most of it and instead report an income that’s much lower than they really made.

San Francisco and especially Silicon Valley are more expensive than New York. To live near major tech companies and not have a long commute, people will pay $2-3 million for small, older homes.

Coinbase is a vehicle for crypto Ponzi schemes. That’s not a real company that produces any actual useful goods and services.

Crypto is stupid, the Metaverse is stupid, and Twitter was bought by a lunatic.
If there are mass layoffs at real companies like Apple and Microsoft I’ll worry about the state of things.

Reply to getting a nice chunk of money next month. by JGreenAZ
Index funds are a good idea, from companies like Vanguard. It’s a fund that just owns a tiny piece of 500 or 1000 different companies, so it basically goes up with the stock market and you don’t have to worry about picking individual stocks from specific companies that might go up or down. The stock market has always been a good long-term investment.
Do not invest in bitcoin or other crypto - it’s all a scam.

Reply to TIFU at a strip club involving drugs and massive credit card charges. by HurrySad4253
You were legally intoxicated and not in a position to consent to the charges, and the club knew that. They tried to get you to take the drugs as part of a credit card scam. You should absolutely see a lawyer and see what you can do. I would imagine the club would rather refund the charges than get raided and charged with serious drug and fraud crimes.
