I read somewhere that a $100k salary in NYC feels like $36k when adjusting for all the factors, etc.

I’d be curious to see that same treatment for cities like Austin and even Houston and Dallas, where nominally on paper it seems like you make a lot of money, but it doesn’t “feel” like it at the end of the month or year.

100k as a single dude on the coasts is ok.  If you have a family and shit, it gets tougher.  Should head inland.
