While we all know that folks have preferences, your salary determines whether or not you can live the life you want. A salary that grants you a comfortable life in Kentucky with a decent amount of spending money (especially if you buy a cheap house) won't give you the options in New York. In some salary ranges, housing costs alone are going to do it and will be the difference between a stressful, penny-pinching life and living with some cushion. This is the objective area of quality of life.
Even between, say, Chicago and NYC is a huge difference if the salaries are equal (because housing prices are cheaper in Chicago, and the quality of cities isn't going to be so different).
- danaris 5y agoIf you mean "New York City", then please say that when comparing it with another state, because I can tell you from first-hand experience that large swathes of Upstate New York have a similar cost-of-living to much of Kentucky.
