Cmv:i believe a $70,000 individual annual salary is more than enough to live damn comfortable anywhere in the us:
Really? Why would anyone want more? A $70k salary is enough for you to pay for comfortable housing, transportation, and expenses even controlling for cities. The average American earns much less than $70,000 and gets by just fine. So why would anyone want to earn more than $70,000? How would more benefit you? If you have a job that pays you a $70,000 salary, chances are you would have vacation time. What would an extra $30,000 help you do that you can't do with your existing salary? There's no marginal utility as far as financial comfort is concerned.
