Hi All,
Having worked (and lived) in all of the following places
here is a rough chart of quality of life for an equivalent
income. Highest at the top, almost poverty level at
the bottom.
Calgary and San Antonio are almost equal in
quality of life per currency unit
Very good lifestyle:
Calgary, Alberta, Canada: $CAN72000 = $US50000
San Antonio, Texas, US: $US72000 = $US72000
Toronto, Ontario, Canada: $CAN72000 = $US50000
London, England: #720000 = $US150000
San Francisco, California, US: $US72000
Poverty
(No English pound sign on my keyboard :{ )
As Rachel and Dick said, it is not how much you get that matters,
it is how much it can buy. Housing and the cost of transportation
are the two biggest factors to check when considering relocating.
Also, the type of lifestyle should be considered. Walt (Weaver)
and I would go crazy in NYC (I am close to insane in Silicon
Valley, as it is) while Rachel would probably die of boredom
in Bozeman, Montana.
(If not true Rachel, please forgive me, I just needed an example)
