      It may not be ideal for you, but lower cost of living ....

      LOL. I don't think you have a good concept of his cost of living. Orlando is SO much more expensive.

      I would have to make double my salary to basically break even compared to other states in the Northeast when you consider the cost of living.

        I'm in Amish Country Ohio. I got sliced honey ham for $3.25/lb this past weekend, to give you and idea.

          Right, I know there are places much cheaper than Orlando, but Orlando is cheap compared to other large cities have a large IT base.

            I believe it. At least for the moment, I'm much better off to be unemployed here than employed for the same wage elsewhere.

                Maybe if you don't know the area....

                Pretty sure even if you do. Orlando might be low, but it's not even in the ballpark. I can buy a house in his area for $35K.

                  42nd... where he is at wouldn't even be on the list. That's how much more it is. They aren't even comparable. Cost of everything is so much lower where he is, except for the state tax thing.

                    One of the other local IT guys I know recently bought a house for $30k. He renovated it and is thinking about moving, he'll sell the thing for $120k

                        If you include the state income tax, I would say it's a break even

                            Yeah, but Rochester is WAY more expensive than where he is from. I mean seriously, no comparison at all.

                            I'm originally from Rochester, so know how much more it is. My Ohio family couldn't sell all of their houses combined and get an apartment in Rochester. And Rochester is not that bad.

                                  My issue is not comparing costs where he lives. My issue is you making a statement like it's fact with no knowledge or proof. Saying that Orlando is SO high for living costs is an untrue statement.

                                    It's not. I said it was so high COMPARED TO WHERE HE IS. And it is. Orlando is dramatically expensive by comparison. And you demonstrated it by comparing it to Rochester, which I know even better is dramatically more expensive.

                                      It's not. I said it was so high COMPARED TO WHERE HE IS. And it is. Orlando is dramatically expensive by comparison. And you demonstrated it by comparing it to Rochester, which I know even better is dramatically more expensive.

                                      Wasn't he just looking at some place on the West Coast? I mean that should blow expensive East coast cities out of the water (not Rochester or Orlando).

                                      Rochester and Orlando are on the low side compared to other larger cities.

                                        You say this assuming I don't know the Orlando area. I've spent a lot of time there. I have lots of friends that live there. I have looked at prices there. I have a fair idea of the cost. My family is also from where Travis is from and I know those costs REALLY well and know that no city in the US is comparable. He's not close to any city, it's insanely cheap where he is.

                                        You said that Orlando is cheaper, but keep showing that it is more expensive.

                                            Not cheaper than where he lives, but much cheaper than the west coast where he was looking
