[quote=briansd1][quote=AN] You’re also the one who brought up living w/in your mean. Which mean buying a 400k house when your HHI is $150k. You can do that down here, you can’t do that up there. [/quote]
That’s an excellent point. Living within your means in a comfortable house close to work is the key. That’s a sustainable lifestyle that mimizes stress, urban sprawl and environmental degradation. . . [/quote]
brian, consider that your “means” in Silly Valley may very well be much higher than SD. Therefore, it’s all relative, except for the “worker worth” factor. If you’re paid 20-50% higher than SD area for the same job in Silly Valley and later decide to accept a job in NC’s “research triangle,” (east coast) your “worth” is equal to what you are currently being paid (+ a possible percentage over that). That’s what they’ll have to pay to have you grace their presence. It is what it is.
