I looked up the average cost of living in Alabama. It says it is 54k for a family. Do you think that is realistic?
The reason why I ask is that US incomes always confuse me. Incomes seem quite high and I understand that taxes are much lower than here (Finland).
As an uninformed outsider with these costs of living 100k for a couple seems quite nice and a gross income 130k appears absolutely rich. Am I missing something?
IlJust very curious always as some of the income programmers with my experience get in the US seem absolutely unachievable here.
