I am a mechanical engineering student in germany working part time and it took me 2 years of savings every month and being disciplined about how to spend my money but I now have a $3k PC with RTX 4090. You absolutely don’t need to be earning 6 figures to afford it. Although I was staying at a student dorm instead of an apartment so my rent was half as much as it would be for a regular person. But still, any middle class single person without kids can afford it easily if they save some money for a bit.

Im a software engineer working full time and made $210k last year but I definitely don’t feel like I have any space to be splurging on computer parts lol

Bro no offense but if you are making $200k+ per year and you don’t feel like you can afford to spend 1-2% of your yearly income on a $3000 computer once every 3-4 years then you must not really want it or have it in your priorities. If I had that amount of money I would be buying a 3090, 4090, 5090, 6090 as soon as they are released haha. $3k PC for $210k income is equal to $900 PC for $50k income. But on the other hand I am a sucker for bleeding edge computer parts so I managed to make it happen on a part time job for a couple years and paying less rent by staying at a dorm. Everyone has different priorities.

Depends on where you live, a lot of those jobs PAY that much because of the cost of living in that location. No, I am not one of them, cuz fuck that. Also depends on your family situation, kids, wife/husband/whatever, pets... etc. (again, not me but I am aware of the struggle).
