      plenty of people live in these cities on less than 140K and are doing fine.

      I live in Boston and I do great and a few years ago I was only making 70K.

        I’m not sure what are the living standards in Boston or even if those exist, but good for you.

        Boston scares and mystifies me and I know nothing of your bizarre customs.

          it’s a city with a lot of money. but nobody shows it off the way they do in nyc/la. it’s very ‘modest’.

          people with 50million in the bank drive a 30K prius and wear eddie bauer and agonizing over their property tax going up $500 as if it will bankrupt them.
