If a $20 Whopper sounds ridiculous, you're not alone—but according to one high-earning Reddit couple, that's just the going rate in their city. And when you're pulling in $900,000 a year, apparently dropping $40,000 annually on food isn't shocking—it's relatable.
In a post to r/HENRYfinance, a subreddit for high earners not rich yet, one user asked fellow very, very high cost-of-living dwellers — better known as VVHCOL on Reddit — if their food budget was normal. Instead of backlash, they were met with understanding—and in many cases, near-identical spending habits.
