As most of us already know, an equal salary can stretch much farther in one place than another. If you earn at least 70,000 a year you will earn a comfortable salary. At this level of income, you are said to have reached the point where you really don’t need money to thrive. However, in each state, that 70,000 needs to be adjusted to account for cost of living differences.
