1) live in San Francisco and code for a few years.
2) there is no step 2.
2a) on St Patrick's day, despair that you've already paid more in rent this year than your father in Montana will pay all year.
- bretpiatt 16y agoAgreed, comparison of San Francisco in $100k to San Antonio, TX where I'm at now... Comparable salary in San Antonio, TX $58,363 If you move from San Francisco, CA to San Antonio, TX.... Groceries will cost: 24%less Housing will cost: 66%less Utilities will cost: 13%less Transportation will cost: 11%less Healthcare will cost: 15%less
- spoiledtechie 16y agoYour also missing something though. The amount put away into a 401K is much higher in SF then in San Ant. TX. I would much rather work on San Fran for a few years, make a ton for my 401k then move some where cheap and rural in my 30s. San Fran people also have more cash for trips compared to Antonio. Overall, The higher salary is better in the long term.
- joshhart 16y agoI'm doing this now, but the higher tax bracket (not to mention the California taxes in general) make it not nearly as nice an option as it could be.
