That's not true, I live outside Manhattan and you can buy a very nice house for $250,000. I'm not in NYC (New Jersey) but close to the city. Well, it's a condo, not a house.
Also, what's wrong with riding the train? More people should be riding the train.
> A better analysis would be to draw the line somewhere in the the $200,000 - $500,000 range
That's wild! No, that's approaching upper class.
> Sad to say, there are many areas of the country where living on $125,000 still definitely sucks.
Proof? I don't think this is true unless you have no idea how to manage your money.
I can't imagine a single place where it would suck to live on ~$7,000 take home pay a month...
