Oklahoma City
Gallon of milk: $2.25
Gallon of gas: $1.19
New house, 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage, < $100k.
Or, 3100 sq ft not new but nice, with in-ground pool, 1.3 acre, 3 car
garage, < $250k.
New apartments, 2 bedroom, 9 ft ceilings, with 18 hole golf and fitness
facility for 1/2 price, $450/month.
But don't everyone move here, or our cost of living might go up. ;)
Please, also refrain from comparing other aspects. This is an interesting
comparison of salary and cost of living. I just don't want to start a
"quality of life" debate.....
