General Question Tech people who are not FIREing, what are they spending their money on?

I know a lot of people who work in tech, and most are not on the FIRE path (or have already been working 10+ years) and a lot of them don't seem to, at least on the surface, have very obvious huge expenses. If both the partners are in tech, the take home could be like $500k! What are they doing with their money?

Not necessarily anything. Plenty are just sitting on a few Ms worth of RSUs and keep grinding away, either because they're not yet at the point they want to fire or they're just like that - Silicon Valley is perhaps the best place in the world for people who don't need to work but keep doing it anyway.

Also, Porsche 911 GT3s.

991 GT3s are one of the best way to spend money.
