Yeah, this is kind of aggravating.  I&#x27;m not an engineer, but I know many, and anyone who thinks they are all just living the high life is crazy. With the cost of living they are no doubt faring better than many traditional working class folks, or service industry folks, but let&#x27;s be real--they aren&#x27;t just idle rich bathing in tubs of caviar.<p>In fact, while they might be able to purchase a home still, it often times will be quite a bit smaller, more run down, and in a worse neighborhood due to the sheer cost of buying one. And often times they are only buying out of desperation because they don&#x27;t want to be forced out of the area entirely due to rents beyond their control.
