Around here, (Lancaster, PA Amish Country!) My fiancee and I bring in about $80 k per year, own our home and live pretty comfortably, but were we to live in NYC, we'd be living in a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment somewhere...

i tend to agree, but.. last year( i live right down the street, in Lancaster) me and my wife made about $150,000. 22 years ago, together we made $28,000. it is definitely true, the more your income goes up, the more your lifestyle changes, and becomes more expensive. those who choose to try and keep the same lifestyle, are the ones, monetarily, end up with the most cash
