Microsoft pays well. The prudent move is to not increase spending until saving up at a bare minimum 6 months of "runway".
I live in Washington. My accountant told me stories, one of which was a Microsoftian who got the big job, and promptly bought the most expensive house he could swing. He soon ran into trouble because he didn't have enough left to pay the property tax, and was forced to sell it.
BTW, Microsoft has unusually generous benefits for autism. Many autism clinics have sprouted up around the campus to take advantage of that.
Never, ever, EVER assume that a high paying job is a guarantee for life.
