Taxes are worse here than a lot of places, TX and FL don’t even have state income tax. Gas is way more in California, but it’s a lot more stable throughout the rest of the country. I agree on rent/housing, but on vacations and the car issue…that actually works out worse for us. A brand new ZO6 doesn’t cost 2-3x as much out there like rent does, but the pay sure is better. > [@I need to copy a myspace page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-need-to-copy-a-myspace-page/25497/7): > > Then why are per diem rates different across the country, which cover hotel & food? I didn’t mean all cities are the same. I meant if a person from Pgh and a person from LA visit the same city, they will pay the same for a hotel. It’s just a larger % of the Pgh person’s pay. Airfare changes too, but it’s usually pretty flat, sometimes even better flying out of the largest cities. My point was just that a big vacation or a nice car is a larger chunk of your pay when you live in Pgh, and “reap the benefits” of the low cost of living. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-it-jsut-me-or-is-anyone-else-getting-frustrated-by-this-weather/185955)._
