What is would cost to maintain a similar standard of living, when spending all of your money where you live. (like most families with kids :) )
Someone who saves $20k/year or spends large amounts on travel would have a much higher standard of living in SF than Minneapolis.
- joezydeco 14y agoTry the algebra from the other end. "I have a wife and two kids. I want to own a 3 bedroom house with a yard. I need a car, and I drive 15,000 miles a year. We eat <x> number of meals at home each week, and <y> at restaurants. We do <z> things as a family including movies. This takes up 80% of our net income." Okay, now what would that cost in Minneapolis, and what would that cost in San Francisco? That's all we're trying to ask.
