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. So, how does New York City, notorious for being expensive (movies are, what, $72.64 a pop now?), stack up to other cities in terms of cost of living? Here are some examples from CNNMoney’s map:
New York (Manhattan) NY
Cost of living index: 218
Local equivalent to $250k: $545,000
Philadelphia PA
Cost of living index: 126.5
