In my region an average senior salary is somewhere around 70-80% of what you could be making in non-game tech. Some regions are similar, others are very different. It is a big world with lots of people in it.

My apartments BASE rent (before utilities, hoa, etc) is 21k a year (1750/month). I live in one of the cheapest areas in my city.
That is not livable where I am
