I think for a bachelor or a young married (but childless) couple
who likes to party,
this might be true. I think it starts to even out when you start
to have children.
IF you start to have children ;-)
Eventually he got a job with a small company but they are only
paying him
35K. However with that job he is able to afford a 4 bedroom house
with a one
car garage on a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced in back yard.
Yes, but when he went to buy that car to put in that garage, he was
only making
35K per year. Unless cars sell for a lot less in Austin then they
sell other places
his salary affects the type of car he can buy, the amount of money
he can invest,
etc.
Not to mention the condition of the house! :)
If you don't mind a longer commute (and remember snow can make a
long
commute much longer) than you should be able to find housing that is
comparable to Austin.
It snows three to four times a year to the point that the commute
becomes "much
longer". And sometimes those snows happen on weekends or
holidays. The other 200
working days things are fine.
Not to mention depending on the type of IT work you do, a few days
here or there telecommuting is fine with most employers. More so when
the weather is unsafe.
