Yes, I think that net income chart is what people really should be looking at when considering salary vs cost of living but too many times these analysis are so hyper focused on home prices.

From stories I've heard from exotic car rental companies, it seems they end up renting to people basically at cost and the real money is made when they ship out 10 cars at once with a full time handler for a photoshoot.

It is possible but prohibitively expensive. A "good" price for health insurance for an individual still has ~$1000 monthly premiums. This isn't far off what employers pay. A good plan can easily be $15k - $20k per year in pre
