Spouse and I are both consultants, household income $440k annually in Chicago. I received an offer with a company in San Fran with almost the same compensation but far lesser work hours (80 + today to 40 hrs/week). Can see myself having decent work like balance, but COL in SFO is concerning. Is SFO really that expensive?

Give me reasons I should not move to Southern California (Santa Monica/Venice or San Diego)? Have always wanted to live in Cali. I currently live in Tampa, Fl. Was born and raised here.

Servus zusammen,

Das klingt für mich ja eigentlich ganz gut, wenn man hier allerdings auf Fishbowl unterwegs ist, liest man von den Amis schon ganz andere Summen wie 150k TC; Wie lässt sich das denn vergleichen? Deren Savings-Rate muss doch extrem hoch sein?

Davon abgesehen, wie strukturiert ihr eure Finanzen? Kann von den 3k netto ca 1/2 zur Seite legen..
