(I say this to give you an idea of the cost of living, which I assume is much cheaper than anywhere in CA). I presently can't afford a P-car and feel like I'm just squeezing by. I feel like I'd need to earn $150k a year to live in the same house, have my wife not work, and be able to afford a decent P-car.

See my sig... can't even keep a 944 running.
I bought in real estate early... $180K mortgage on a (now) $490K house... two houses on the lot and I rent the front house out... hate being a landlord but it help make ends meet.
