    People in San Francisco seriously underestimate how good of a salary $75-85k/yr is in the Midwest. We have grads making $80k where you can buy a nice three-bedroom home for $175k. Your mortgage is $600/month, which leaves over $6k/month before taxes.

        They undoubtedly have a higher quality of life than someone in SF making $150k

        Might want to tweak those numbers a bit.... Start by taking the 80 and turning it into 50 after taxes. Then, add taxes and insurance to your mortgage and its almost 3X as much. (AND, I don't disagree with the point you were making.)

        Hence the reason I specifically called out "before taxes" :)

        "before taxes" is a fantasy world that no one lives in.

        ... so you deduct taxes from that and it becomes after taxes

        you should put out a price parity study around this. Cost of living vs. salary from grads by state and what they can buy

        I've been looking at real estate in AK for reasons and I was like... shit, I could buy a house here. Me, a person who thought she'd only ever own real estate in her 60s by inheriting.

        It's piss contest. It doesn't matter as much what you can afford as that you have a higher number in your tax report (which is then taxed at a higher bracket lol).

        When I worked at NASA there were many, many civil servants on the low-end of the Federal General Schedule of Wages that had a higher material quality of life than senior directors at Google. Fly over country rocks.

        When I would visit our Bay Area facilities, I would leave a small midwestern town real estate brochure in the lunch room. They’d nearly weep.

        What about racist people? You forgot that in your equation. I’d rather not get shot for being brown by some maga supporter.

        @jordankelley I lived in Dayton and Cincinnati for 4 years. Know it too well and hurts to not take advantage.
