    $100k

    Havs you done any math on this for where you live?

    How about Dallas? Atlanta? Philly? Baltimore?

    OK, let’s pull the big ones: DC? Anecdote: was once offered a job inside the beltway for a little over $100k. Fuck no. $100k in DC is nothing.

    How about San José? LA? San Fran? NY? Again, more places where $100k ain’t much.

    Single metrics don’t tell us much.

      I agree with you 100% $100k in some states like NY or California don’t mean shit, but where I live, I’d live a very comfortable life if I made $100k.
