I just don't understand where these people get all this money. The answer is often "oh it's just claude max" like man I don't have 200$ MONTHLY lying around ?? That's half my rent

Some of the Claude whales I know:

- Highly paid FAANG engineers that are working on side projects / startup ideas, and will pay whatever it takes. They have the means to do so.

- Startups with funds.

- Regular tech workers that are allowed to use the company card.

Makes sense

Where are you living that your rent is $400?

Living in Paris, but I exaggerated rent is actually 600€ and it's like the best opportunity one can have. Still, even if I lived in a regular flat with 1000 euros rent, I don't see how 20% additional "rent" money is worth it for side fun projects

Some could be in very expensive areas where their rent could be 10x your rent
