Johnson decides to live like a pleeb in an area that's costly. Johnson's story sounds like there isn't an alternative.

I work in the same industry and have net of 2700€ a month after taxes and rent.

Don't get glued to geographic location that eats all your hard earned money.

In fairness to him, we don't know what his net is. How much he makes or what he has left over after paying that $2k per month isn't mentioned. He could be sitting on an enormous savings.

... Which I guess is okay for him, specifically, assuming that hypothetical is even true, but it's still an outrageous amount to be paying for what he's getting.

He's working in advertising in Hollywood... My guess is that he's making bank.

Or he's an industry pleb who says that because it sounds better than office gofer.

Social media advertising. Not bank.
