I think that's a wise decision because it allows you to stay where you are without pushing you into another country just to benefit from lower living costs while having a comparatively high income.
- rtkwe 7y agoYeah, to attract people already living in high COL areas you have to pay them well otherwise they'll work local which will track to the living expenses.
- godelski 7y agoBut why not move to a higher COL area if you can get the same living style. If you're putting x% of your savings away (this is what COL does) then the person in the higher COL nets more savings.
