According to Salary.com, the 10 least affordable cities for paycheck earners are:
Wow. I figured NY would top the list, but LA is far lower than I'd have thought.
The funny thing is, walking around in the heat and humidity I get pretty miserable pretty fast.
I think it's a matter of clothing.
Fresno? Why does that amuse me so much?
I'm guessing Stamford has got to be due proximity to NY.
Yes, Steph you can. you are still on the list.
also? everyone else: EAT IT!
Awwwwww YEAH!

I like saunas, but I can't bear steam rooms. Makes me feel like I can't breathe.

Okay, NY, SF, Boston -- just pricey cities to live in, due to geography and history. San Diego, LA, well, at least they're big cities. San Jose, smaller city, but there's the whole "we hold conferences here all the time and gouge the tourists" factor, perhaps. Stamford, Santa Barbara -- rich places, quasi-suburbs.
But Bakersfield? Fresno? Why? I mean, I only have reports from an acquaintance who loathed Fresno with every fiber of her being (and had nothing at all to say about Bakersfield), but that's kind of bizarre.
We're number one! We're number one!
I'm a little surprised Boston wasn't higher, too.
Fresno? That's a surprise.
And Bakersfield is even higher. Your paycheck goes farther in LA than Bakersfield?
And 8 of those cities are in CA. I'm a little surprised that DC isn't there.
The eternal "we're just kids in high school" band, Def Leppard, is on Regis and Kelly right now.
They are finally OLD!
I don't know why I find this amusing, but I do.
