Honest question: what do you all do for a living to afford these beasts?

Basically I am from India, a medium high end job here pays Rs. 1 lakh($ 1100) per month and there are deductions on top of it.

An RTX Pro 6000 starts from 8 lakh and goes upto 10 lakh($ 10989), 5090 costs 3.5 lakhs($ 3800), threadripper costs 7-8 lakhs($ 8800), ram prices have soared and corsair vengeance costs 52,000 ($ 571) for 32GB, motherboard, cabinet, and other accessories makes it look like a dream to own in a lifetime. And people here are using multi gpu setup, recently saw 4xrtx 6000 pro setup here.

Been seeing a lot of beautiful multi-GPU setups here and I'm genuinely curious about the community makeup.

Are most of you:

Software engineers / AI researchers (expensing to employer or side business)?

Serious hobbyists with high-paying day jobs?

Consultants/freelancers writing off hardware?

Something else entirely?
