JaapSuter 0 #1 February 6, 2005 Hi, does anybody know a good cost-of-living comparison chart or calculator that includes both Canada and the United States? Something like: if you're currently living in A, and you're making B, you should be making X if you move to Y and want to keep your standard of living the same. Thanks, Jaap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #4 February 6, 2005 Take that web page with a grain of salt. It says I can get by making less money here in broomfield CO (just northwest of Denver) than I could in Houston TX. It also says that you need to make less money to live in Napa CA than living in Fairfield CA. Let's just say that is not quite accurate.Fly it like you stole it!

mnealtx 0 #5 February 6, 2005 I don't think ANY online calculator could be entirely accurate,... figured those things are for a rough guide of relative costs, anyway.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #7 February 6, 2005 QuoteI don't think ANY online calculator could be entirely accurate,... figured those things are for a rough guide of relative costs, anyway. Nope wasn't expecting true accuracy, but it was about $30,000 off from what my company thought the cost of living in CO was. What my company thought was even a bit low when you add in the increased cost of gas, food and recreation. That is why I said take it with a grain of salt. Guess I should have added to ask people in that area what they are paying for housing and such.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmsmith 1 #9 February 7, 2005 I've lived in a variety of places, and the expenses that really make a difference are: energy, fresh food, housing, and taxes. The two expenses that vary widely based on where you reside are energy and housing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
