Well, housing costs alone will be 2x-3x and that is your greatest cost of living. A decent house in the midwest or south may be $150-200k, and in a high-demand suburb on the coasts will be $400-500k.
Here where I am at, $200k to $300k buys a seriously large luxurious lavish home in nice quiet comfortable upscale new or old neighborhood. On the country club or not.
$500k+ will put you in/on Karsten Kreek. Considered one of the best golf courses in the country, it's private, green fees are between $180 and $300+ a round.
Here in NYC, or more specifically within the 5 boroughs, you can get an attached house with a small backyard for around $550k to $650k. $350k will get you a small condo or townhouse if you are lucky. As soon as you want something a little more private, such as a detached house you are easily looking at $800k and above.
