[quote=Anonymous]That’s a lot of difference in housing! But, besides that: 1. Transportation - gas is often cheaper as are mechanics. But also, mass transit is cheaper in other places. If you live out on the end of the metro line where housing might be a bit cheaper, it can be $17. a day to park at the metro and take the train to work. Or you can drive and pay around $20 for parking. Compare that to places where there’s no paid parking and public transportation is maybe $2 each way. 2. Childcare is cheaper other places, so are schools and kids’ afterschool activities. Those are all everyday expenses. And yes, those are make or break for most people. [/quote]
