I've always wondered about this, Cynthetiq. I interviewed for a job at NYU several years ago, and the salary was about the same as what I was making in Alabama. I remember thinking that I couldn't even come close to living in Manhattan on that salary, which was barely comfortable in Alabama as it was.

And is the reverse true? Is someone making $80,000 in Manhattan going to automatically balk at $70,000 in Alabama (which is enough to live extremely comfortably here)?
