[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Just wanted to say that I am carefully reading all  your posts. Thank you again.  Just wanted to let you know this is not a zombie thread.

On a tangent. does anyone have an idea of how much more salaries are in NYC vs DC?  I know there's no perfect answer, but any kind of grounding would be helpful.  I'm wondering if a 400-500 step up isn't really enough to keep up the standard of living. [/quote]

It's not. You'd need more like 600k just to have the lifestyle you have now. More than that obv to have any kind of increase. Look at the col calculators. Look at what housing, taxes, and commute cost. Look at how LONG commutes are in "affordable" tristate towns.

I'm not saying there is not something appealing about living in that area but I'd only do it at an income closer to 7 figures. You will inevitably come into contact with lots of finance families and their annual bonuses will be more than your whole income. It will make you feel poor. [/quote]
