In major cities you'll find that a salary to be comfortable is a whole lot higher than that in low cost areas. Taxes and housing kill you.

"Comfortable" is a very subjective term, which is the point of thread, I guess. My point, however, was that Gonzo was full of shit with the story about a guy HAVING to work 4 jobs to make $250,000/year just to survive. lulz

EDIT: Or maybe the Taxi driver was full of shit, either way, the point stands.
