Ever wonder what it really takes to live comfortably in big US cities? In places like Irvine, CA, you’d need to pull in over $326K a year just to feel financially chill as a homeowner. Even renting in these hotspots can mean needing six figures. The West Coast and Hawaii top the charts, but surprise—Arlington, VA, is the East Coast outlier. If you’re house-hunting, maybe consider cities where your paycheck stretches further! #CostOfLiving #MoneyTalk #CityLife #RealEstate
