There are areas in Texas with moderately tech savvy industries where $50k can cover basic needs for a family of four with good housing (3BR/2BA with reasonable dimensions for all rooms and yard), savings, and an occasional splurge on entertainment. Now in the SF Bay area, you've got to look at 2.5-4+ to keep that quality of life. Useful salary, to some extent, is geographical. The rest of what you're talking about, I've got nothing to add. |

That's what ruled out Seattle, SF, LA, and NYC for me. I'm in Austin -- not the cheapest place in Texas, but your buck goes a long way here. Not as far as it went 15 years ago, but property investments have really paid off for me here.
