The cost of living varies greatly from city to city especially when moving to sunbelt or coastal cities. Necessities such as housing, fuel and even food vary greatly from area to area. Our program will help you with your Cost of Living Comparison to know the differences in dollars and cents. Often what looks like a significant raise ends up being insufficient to maintain one’s lifestyle due to the higher cost of living in the new city.

I recently worked with a young couple getting what they thought was a great raise to move from the Mid-West to Florida. Florida has a much higher cost of living than the Mid-West but how much more?

This program helped them make an adequate comparison to negotiate the right kind of compensation to make the move worth their while.

All to often when evaluating a raise people compare the new income to the cost of living in their current city and not the new city. This error can be very costly and quickly solved with our Cost of Living Comparison program.

If you are thinking of moving to a different city or you are offered a new job in a distant city and they are offering a raise to go there but is the raise enough to cover any changes in the cost of living to maintain your current living standard?

This program solves that questions for you and provides you with actual dollar and percentage comparisons.

These are real concerns in today’s economy and our fluid economy. I’ve often been consulted by young people asking if this is a good move for them.

I’ve developed a simple software program that will tell you what income you will need in the distant city to maintain the same standard of living you enjoy now.  Any money above this is gravy and will help you become more financially secure.  Now you can compare both cities with our Two City Cost of Living Comparison.

This program is accurate, very easy to use and will pay for itself a thousand times over.

There are pitfalls in moving to a different city, even if you get a substantial raise.  Depending on the amount of the raise it may not be enough to cover the increase cost of living in the new city.

A young family recently got a $20,000 annual promotion to a new position in a different city only to eventually find out that their standard of living went down because of the new higher cost of living in their new city.

This program helps to prevent this from happening to you. Don’t be among those who fall into a trap of getting a $20,000 raise only to find out that to maintain their current standard of living in the new area it costs $25,000.  That’s an extra $2,000 a month that has to come from somewhere or you have to cut back.

Our program is designed for you to easily gather a few prices of items where you live now and in the distant location. These commodity prices are readily available from a small shopping trip in both locations.

All you do is plug in the prices of 5 items (easily obtained from a casual shopping trip) and your current gross family income and our program will tell you what income you need in the distant city to maintain the same standard of living you enjoy now.  

It also tells you how much your raise should be to equal your same standard of living.  This has proven to work across the country and is so easy to use.
