People may scoff at the concerns of Tanner and Amy and those like them, including the many public schoolteachers I have interviewed in the San Francisco area who are now forced to drive for Uber to be able to pay their rent. She now works out of her home in an unfashionable town, where she can spend time with her young children and is able to socialize with new friends who live nearby. Her family’s cost of living was so high that after growing up in the Bay Area, she migrated to the Sacramento area. I’d spend 15 minutes a day relaxing with them.” As she put it: “I didn’t make enough to get the cleaning lady or the chef like my colleagues did – my colleagues didn’t have time to clean for themselves or feed themselves, but they did have money.” She “literally drove my kids out at 6am, to get them to daycare by 7, get into the office at 8.30, pick them up at 5 or 6, then we’d commute back, then bath, and food, and bed. She also spent a large amount of time commuting because she couldn’t afford to live closer to her job. “Anywhere else in the country, that would be a ton of money,” she said. Yet the couple were making $150,000 between the two of them. She and her husband spent over half of their monthly income on their mortgage childcare ate up another 30%. But it wasn’t the case for her line of work. She had struggled with the assumption that if you are working in and around Silicon Valley “you should be raking in six figures”. Then there’s Amy, who has worked in human resources for over 18 years for different hi-tech Silicon Valley companies. “Mr and Ms Jones of the Bay Area ask: ‘Am I doing as well as my neighbors?’” says Tanner. (Cool! Scary!) Nonetheless, Tanner is still economically pressured, still commuting, and still heavily exerting himself to pay for three kids in after-school programs and daycare, all aged 10 and under. Now, he is down to working only two jobs, including laboring for what is called a “weather drone start-up”. Until last September, Tanner had to work three jobs to pay for his health insurance and family’s expenses – as a meteorologist at Weather Underground, a rain-and-shine site, as an independent contractor, and as an instructor at San Jose State University. Yet “week to week”, he says, he “still feels a crunch” on Fridays. He has a $3,000 monthly mortgage, less than half of his monthly income. But Tanner’s experience is quite different. His profession and location might indicate that Tanner is affluent, part of the storied Silicon Valley tech boom. And you can sometimes be rewarded with it for doing quests, mostly for your neighbors.Shaun Tanner, a web developer and meteorologist, lives in San Jose, California, and works in Alameda, over an hour’s commute each way. But there are also a few places where Jewelry will always be found. In most scavenge locations, there is a random chance to find Jewelry, mostly in containers. Where to Find Jewelry in This War of Mine Unfortunately, there are very few places where jewelry can be found. But, in the game’s “Anniversary Edition”, it can also be used to get the new “Epilogue: Exodus” ending. It’s mainly used to barter with traders for more useful items. Jewelry is a rare item you can come across in “This War of Mine”. ![]()
