That's a pretty high bar for cost of living. Here in Charlotte, NC, I make half of that, and could support two people without any difficulty.
- ryanSrich 10y agoYeah. There's definitely a culture tax in the NW. I can freely enjoy the virtues of legal cannabis, frequent the best coffee shops in the world, and hike the glacial peaks all in the same day. To me that's worth the cost.
- juliangoldsmith 10y agoIn Charlotte, I'm 2 hours away from the Appalachian mountains, and can easily get good coffee. I wouldn't consider legal marijuana worth $100k a year, personally.

- sf_rob 10y agoI get the feeling that tech people no longer have reasonable understandings of cost of living. I live in the PNW and could keep my current nice standard of living on a $60k salary (as a single person). I cannot think of a scenario where I would need two six figure incomes unless I really ramped up spending (private school, nicer car, nicer house).
