85K in Natick Boston area. Is it good enough to have a decent life there?
Compared to 65K in Houston, no state tax and SFH about 200K.Which one is
better? Hard to make decision.Any thought? Thanks! | N*****2
发帖数: 2318 | 2 After tax, 20K salary difference ends up roughly about 1K more per month,
which translates to 200K mortgage
borrowing power. If 200K can buy you a decent big house in Houston, 400K
can give you a big dog house in Boston
area. If you don't mind hot weather, then choose living in Houston. If you
only plan for short term, then choose Natick
job.

你收入上是15K的税前差距，支出上你自己做一点research, 比如租房（Natick one-
bedroom 1K/mo 左右, 不包暖气), grocery, health care.
