I had airline miles and a free pass, so I went out to GDC this year. Stayed with a friend all the way out in Mountain View or somethin like that.
He makes well over 100k a year, and he was living in this awful little duplex and drove, like, a 2001 Ford Explorer type of thing. I forget the exact make and model. He had a roommate who made similar amounts of cash.
Like, I'm below the poverty line where I live, and I was on food stamps, and his place was marginally better than mine, despite making like 15x what I make in a year. Some guys on my indie team wanted to live in more expensive places, and I'm just like, geez, I'd rather move to Lenexa or something.
