Yes. The big difference is housing. My landlord hasn't raised my $250 a month rent in the 14 years I have lived in this house. I have 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, and a 2 car garage. I have a huge kitchen and butler's pantry, which I love, because I love to cook.
I can live well on what my friend in Massachusetts pays annually in property tax.
Actually, he pays more in property tax than I do live on!
yep, here McD's had a sign saying minimum wage now 13.00, but L.A. is expensive so it makes sense.@JASFLALMT wrote:
I'm still scratching my head that minimum wage in rural Nebraska is $10 an hour when it's only $8.50 here.

Plus, don't forget, you probably have marketable skills. I don't, really.

Agreed. Taxes around here are 1-2k/month or more. The home insurance is also more than a year's rent. But, we choose to live in NY/CA.
I believe you, you are experienced (20yrs) and have great relationships within the industry, not just starting out.@SoCalMama wrote:
I average $60 an hour, never do video, and will be retired at 55.
I no longer shop full time, but when I do, I make sure it’s profitable.
