    Most software engineers are living in expensive areas like bay area, new York etc. here high salaries are not useful because of high living costs. but mechanical engineering companies are in less expensive places where living costs are low and those salaries are attractive.

      Let's be real, software engineer salaries are likely to decrease significantly in the future as everyone and their mom wants to become a software engineer. Too many people coming out of bootcamps, layoffs, threat of AI etc is not making the long term outlook look good for future software engineers. I think mechanical engineer salaries are likely to stay similar (in line with inflation) in the future and software engineer and mechanical engineer salaries should likely be the same so just choose what you enjoy more I guess.

Also as a mechanical undergraduate myself, Iam looking to pursue a masters in mechanical engineering, according to you which major in mechanical engineering pays you the most and which has the lowest potential of being replaced in the future by technology? Iam asking this because a lot of people around me are asking to pursue a technical field for masters like data science or analytics of some sort. Your reply will be very valuable to me. Thank you.

As far as I know, you can opt out of anything that isn't State or Federally mandated as deduction from income. Right now, you'd probably better off taking that 401k deduction and just buying physical gold with it, storing it in something you can touch with your own hands and no middle person can steal away.
