FOFC Demographics: Annual Household Income
How much is your annual household income? This counts for everyone in your family. Being that the cost of living makes $100K a year in California vastly different from $100K a year in Illinois, please use this calculator to calculate your income in Dallas, TX:
http://www.bestplaces.net/COL/ FWIW, I just chose Dallas, TX arbitrarily just so we could have a baseline for the cost of living differences. CNN's COL calculator seemed a little unweildy and the other ones wanted information like the cost of a meal. This is hardly scientific, but the results will be pretty interesting I think. Poll to come. Last edited by Raiders Army : 09-29-2008 at 08:19 PM. |

Hmmm, it says I would only need to 41,000 to live in Dallas. Not knowing Dallas much other than where Kennedy was killed, just doesn't seem like it would be enough.
Kinda defeats the whole purpose of 'getting ahead' if I were to take that big of a pay cut just to live in Dallas.  Wait, how is LA more expensive than San Diego???? If anything they would be tied or much closer than that. Weird.

Damn- FOFC is rich.
Either that or the ones who make more than 100K don't really do work so they have time to do silly polls on FOFC all day  SI

Dallas is only 11% more expensive than Greensburg, PA, and Greensburg ain't that expensive. Nice.

I'm guessing real estate prices determine at least 50% of the variance among different cities. Real estate in Dallas is inexpensive compared to most large metropolitan areas (esp. SF/LA/SD). You can buy a decent home in a good suburb of Dallas (~2,500 sq ft, with good public schools) for around $275K.

Sorry, I know we have a pretty large non-US contingent. I couldn't find a good free foreign calculator. Edit--maybe the best thing to do is convert your currency to US and vote that way. From what I hear, Australia (Groundhog, et al) and England are much more expensive than the US. Not sure about Canada. I have heard the Phillippines are much, much cheaper from the people that I know that have retired there (Neon Chaos). Last edited by Raiders Army : 09-29-2008 at 08:18 PM. |

Dallas is 44% cheaper than Washington.
Housing is the biggest factor in the cost of living difference. Housing is 70% cheaper in Dallas.

I didn't see the calculator before I did the poll, but Flower Mound is only 5% more expensive than Dallas, so I'm still in the proper range...

I live close to San Francisco, CA. So...needless to say there is a rediculous cost of living difference. A 2,500 sq foot anything up here would cost well over a million dollars.

Yeah, I have a cousin who lives in SF, and she came to visit a couple of weeks ago. She was stunned to find out how "cheap" my house cost...
