CNNMoney Proves That, If You Can Make It Here, You Can Make It Anywhere

CNNMoney has created a new Google map showing just how far $250,000 — the amount the White House claims one needs to be “wealthy” — stretches in different cities across the country.

Cost of living index: 218
Local equivalent to $250k: $545,000


Philadelphia PA
Cost of living index: 126.5
