| I'm not sure the differences are even between a family income of $200K in Kansas vs NY. I think there's a wild difference between a family where one spouse earns $200K, the other spouse doesn't work; versus a family where both spouses work, pay for child care, and their lives are filled with worrying about child care, who's going to pick up the laundry, property taxes going up, whose turn it is to do the physician appointment for little Jimmy or Jane, etc. etc. Despite the income being the same, the lifestyles are very different. |
