@slimebeast, cost of living varies a lot depending on the state and city. It even varies a lot between cities in the same state. A gallon of gasoline may cost 2.50 in Texas but it cost around 4.00 in Cali. Cali is one of the most taxed states so the cost of living is very high there. |
Yes, but price difference in cost of living is like that all over the world, here in Sweden too. A house in rural areas cost almost nothing and while in big cities all housing is very expensive. Still, in Western Europe salaries aren't adapted to differences in cost of living. In Sweden you get paid the same in pricey Stockholm as in cheap villages.

I don't think that's true Slimebeast. Maybe for your profession but not in general. I mean look at this site:

For some professions there's some significant differences, like high level IT business and economics, but I can't see much difference in general browsing some categories on that site.
