>Although the couple have worked hard to get here, and they make good money — their starting salaries were about $90,000 each — they feel that a future in Silicon Valley eludes them. Their apartment, for example, costs almost $3,000 a month. They could move somewhere less expensive, but, with the traffic, they’d spend hours each day commuting. They would like to stay, but they don’t feel confident that they can save, invest, start a family. They’re not sure what to do next.

Let's see..3x12=36,000

2x90,000 (probably a lot more given it is a starting salary) =$180,000

even after accounting for taxes and other expenses, that is still a lot left over.

Stopped reading after that. They literally just refuted their own thesis.
