1.2m home and $250k/yr is not enough to have $60k disposable in places where everything runs on monopoly bucks (SF, NYC, etc). Travel 4hr in any direction from those kind of places and you easily have $60k of disposable income.
- pmiller2 7y agoTravel 4 hours in any direction from SF and you’re either working remotely, running a business, or not making $250k/year. Remote work and entrepreneurship are not options for everyone.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoFine then. Make it 1hr on the east coast and 2hr on the west coast. If you don't mind living in a city/town that makes your upper middle class coworkers cringe you can still find places with a reasonable cost of living. They won't have the greatest schools but living somewhere for the "good schools" is overrated (that's outside the scope of this comment).
