>He won't have too much trouble pulling in 50-70,000 in some white collar job and, considering the cost of living, he'll be quite comfortable. Probably more comfortable than a 100k job in SF or LA.

This was an Uber driver... you think Uber drivers are making 100k? You really think an Uber driver is gonna find a 50-70k white collar job in Kansas?

The Uber driver will not always be an Uber driver. And probably has something already lined up if he's paying for his new house via a mortgage. The reference to a 100k job was making a comparison between the quality of life in different parts of the country, and not an assumption the Uber driver was actually making 100k.

Can’t tell if you’re trolling but you’re making some seriously unfounded assumptions based on zero information because it fits the outcome you want. I could just as easily make different assumptions to end up with different results.

I have no idea what prompted this reaction or an accusation of trolling.
