Well some people's priorities might involve having an active social life, dressing well, paying for entertainment, etc... all of which will be expensive.
It's not a "lack" of priorities, it's just a different set of them.

Several simple ways I found to save money living in NYC (not SF, but close enough). Note these figures are on a per-year basis.
- Scrap web hosting, move to AWS and S3 (~120 saved)
- Get rid of cable, stick with cheap Internet (~1000 saved, Internet ~40/mo)
- One night less at the bar each week (~2500 saved, that's just for a $40 tab)
- Skip buying coffee every day (~500 saved)
- Get a cheaper phone package (~120 saved)
I don't know your lifestyle or actually care what you spend money on, but complaining you can't save money is a bullshit excuse. I was bullshitting myself too, and I think everyone's got spending habits they can curb without impacting their lifestyle.
You can have an active social life without completely disregarding the future.
