We’re at $325 HHI and live in NYC.
It’s not the best financially (obviously), but it is the best for the lifestyle we want while we’re still in our early 30s.
There’s a reason some places are cheaper than others, but it all depends on what you want out of life.

God y’all have no imagination. The US has some of the most scenic and beautiful cities and you’re choosing the most basic. Also NY? Do y’all just like to be broke and oppressed lol

Small coastal towns in California or Maine or towns with cool character like Charleston or New Orleans in the garden district.

Cleveland.

If you're raising an eyebrow or starting to laugh, let me learn you something...

- One of the best orchestras. In. The. World.
- Second largest theatre district in the country
- Art museum with the second largest endowment in the country (also free entry for everything but the rotating exhibits)
- Three major sports teams (that will break your heart)
- Great parks and nature trails. Cleveland aka Forest City
- Great Lakes
- Great food
- Great people

It's a city of 300k people punching way above its weight. Lived in several 1M+ cities that should be taking notes. Would move back tomorrow if I could.
