      no joke. that is what stood out to me. i was once in a situation where i was "only" spending about 19% and it felt like i was stacking stacks like a young money hustler. 10% would be crazy.

      i read somewhere that housing costs in the soviet union never exceeded 3% of income for most. i can't even wrap my mind around that.

      For this to be true in my case, I would have to make roughly 8 times more money than I currently do, which would make me a multi-millionaire.

        For me I'd be looking at around 230k/yr. I could retire in like 5 years.

          In USD, I'd have to make 21k a month, which is something like 252k/yr. (1.7 million DK/yr.)

          I'd also be retired within a decade, and I can't even begin to fathom what that would be like
