[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Pittsburgh suburb
2) HHI stays about the same, maybe a little less. Is around 300k maybe would have been 350k in DC

I love my big 4 bedroom home with 2 car garage and new kitchen in a good public school district in a private neighborhood that cost 370,000.
Daycare was half of what it was in DMV, which i didn't expect.  Dining out is way less too.[/quote]

We moved from DC to Pittsburgh nearly ten years ago and actually make a lot more money now due to salary increases over the years, and it just goes so much farther.  We have a $550k HHI here and live in a big old house in a leafy city neighborhood (it cost $500k when we bought it and would probably sell for $950k or so now).  Our kids are in a nice little private school, and our commutes are 15-30 minutes.  Our jobs are very intense by Pittsburgh standards, but it’s mostly reasonable hours compared to our jobs in bigger cities.  The worst part is the lack of direct flights anywhere you’d actually want to go. [/quote]
