@consultanting I appreciate you

Even if it's not "basically NYC" Hoboken is fucking awesome

Gold Coast/Streeterville

15% pretax, Boston

NYC, 20% pretax

DC, 26% wife and I combined pretax (she's not consulting)

Nope. 2009 - right after the collapse of the housing market. Plus I get the SF cost of living adjustment, so that helps the ratio.

I suppose I forgot to account for the salary variance from C to M

19% post tax - Chicago

~15% LA, post MBA and living in one bedroom with my fiancée, so still a decent sized place ($2700 a month between the two of us, I pay a large percentage though). Would go bigger but have a lot of school debt.

Jamaica Plain (Boston). Live with spouse. Lots of comparatively affordable options if you're willing to leave back bay/south end/beacon hill/seaport

Atlanta - 21% pretax

CLT. Before tax - 18%. Take home, 30%

Boston - 23% pre-tax

Chicago is the way to go. Newish from DC and even the expensive parts of Chicago don't compare to DC.

25% pre tax off of my base; 15% pre tax with the wife's salary built in. Boston

DC, post-tax 16% (sharing apt with bf, otherwise would be 30%)

17.5% post tax and deduction in queens NY. 1000 sq feet, but we rent our living room.... And no one is ever home anyway

28% pre - NYC

23% pre tax. Boston

Thanks!

Due to a mix of circumstance, hikes / job moves, i’ve 2x my salary over the last year.
However, regardless of much i earn, it feels as if i will never feel rich or save enough in a place like London. Crazy constantly increasing taxes, sky rocketing rents and early saturation in salaries. Is UK the right place to be or is it the same everywhere.
