I’m a little outside of Columbus and around 100k. It’s a decent life for me at that salary.

You’re a physician making $100k?

Unless you’re part time that’s criminal.

Define comfortable

SW Florida making $120k. I'd need $150-$160k to be comfortable here.

Indiana, I’d say 80-90 is comfortable

I’d agree that the key is the definition of comfortable is key here.

Things were fine in DFW when our HHI was in the $200k range 10 years ago. Last year our AGI was just shy of $800k, primarily as a result of both of us hitting RSU vesting cliffs and maxed bonuses. Let’s just say now it’s more fine.

In Texas that’s great. No state income tax means it’s a net positive above $200k or so. You’re not going to be living of mockingbird but most of the suburbs will be perfect.

Don’t forget that Texas gets you with property taxes. Ours were over $16k last year.

If I should negotiate, any tips?
