What would you need to make to live in another city?
Found this to be pretty awesome to look at. Take your current salary where you live and see what you would need to make to live the same way in a different city.

Interesting.
I'd have to make a lot more in most places since things here in Texas are pretty cheap. I NEVER WANT TO MOVE TO CALI - EVER |

Forget rent and taxes, even stuff like the price of food in DC and NY is ridiculous compared to other places. 12 eggs cost like $3.

Everything at the Costco there cost the same as it does here in Texas though. |
For me to move from central Mo to Las Vegas:
Price difference in Las Vegas, NV Groceries 10% more Housing 11% more Utilities 6% less Transportation 5% more Health Care 10% more That's it? Seriously? $#it must be getting real in LV right now... |

Everywhere I'd like to move is between 20-25% cheaper, but sadly I'd probably take about a 50% salary hit, thereby completely negating the cost-of-living benefits. :(

I got a big raise but that wasn't the important part. I could never move to a place where I don't want to live for money. Living close to the water and beach was most important. Tired of sliding around on the ice, cold rain, idiots on the road driving when the roads are bad.
Housing is just as cheap as Missouri if you will live 5 minutes from the beach or water. Cost of living is the same. No state tax. |

The constructions jobs have come to a crawl, and in this economy people just aren't coming to Vegas to throw money away like they used to. Nice getaway, bad place to live. Locals avoid the strip at all costs... just too expensive and too much traffic. |

I moved from CO to TX, and I keep hearing how much cheaper it is... but I'm not really convinced.
For example, take buying a house. The house prices are way lower down here, but the property taxes are way higher. So, for a similar house in both places, the total price would be lower here, but the monthly mortgage + taxes payment is the same. However, once the house is paid off, I'm left with an asset that is worth significantly less, while having paid the same amount. Also, I'm still stuck paying the higher taxes. |
