Ok, I re-ran the numbers.

The Annual Cost to Live where I work is about $48,230.16 / Year.

Mind you this doesn't include variable costs like gas, water, electricity, entertainment, or any other adult bills people have to pay.

(Medical Coverage is Covered by my employer).


To live where I work, and have a comfortable life I would need to earn 5x my current hourly income, working full time.

About $240,000 /year at $115 /hour.

Maybe I did the math wrong, or approximated my costs wrong.

But houses are about $500,000 , & rents are about $3,000 to $3,500

Monthly groceries is about $400 to $600.

Car insurance is about $200 / month.

Gas is about $100 / month.

Phone is about $80 / month.

Am I crazy, or stupid?

This doesn’t include luxuries, just the basic necessities.
