2015 10 Best and Worst States to make a living

[Xennial]

I can't believe California is on the list of worst states here

Can absolutely believe Cali is on the list. You can be pulling in 100k and you'll feel broke

 

[jape]

this is true. 

texas is cheap as hell. i know people living in big *** houses that would cost 4 to 5 times as much in another state.

cali is expensive as hell though. 

i remember reading a statistic that like hundreds of people move from cali to texas everyday.  crazy

 

[keel252]

funny that Ohio and Michigan are one the best, both states have been dragged through the mud the last 10 years.

 

[jayzz]

NC on the come up, yall sleep

 

[yeah]

I refuse to read Forbes articles anymore, sick of that click through each one ********. Put them all on 1 page. No surprise Texas is number 1 though. You make 50k there and you are doing nice, can be in a new construction ~2000 s/ft house in a nice community on the suburbs, new car, everything, especially if you are lucky enough to have no or minimal college/car debt

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Without reading the article (yet) I can tell NYC and California will be in the top 3. You gotta be pulling in like 60-70k yearly just to live comfortably in a good neighborhood.

Edit: well dam NY didn't make the worst list. Surprised everything cost a arm and a leg here.

i feel sorry for people who live in cities, all that hustle and bustle just to hurry up to get no where...

you can live good in a cabin in the woods, can grow your own vegetables, hunt for your own food, sounds like the good life

I know you're exaggerating a bit but $50K won't go that far. New construction in a desirable suburb in Dallas is like $275K now. Well, with good schools and what not.

Unless you want to be super far out.

Hell, on 50K you better hope you have a hefty down payment. Our market is crazy.

A nice, newer apartment in a vibrant neighborhood or one that's close (within 10 min) to downtown/uptown is like $1200 minimum for a 1 bedroom with decent (600~) square footage.

Might be higher than that in Cali, depending on your definition of a good neighborhood -

Cali is way too damn expensive. I would leave in a heartbeat if all my family wasn't here and still might leave

 

[benny bugatti]

I know you can live plush for the low in NC. Got some nice spots going for 150-175K in Charlotte.

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

I'm tired of the folks from out of state moving to Texas.

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

They do nothing but complain.

Housing is so expensive here in Seattle. So glad I managed to land a 6 figure job the week after I graduated college
