Agreed - believe all three are over $300k for first year associates and $350k+ for second year associates.

Goes a long way in a spot where taxes are lower (for now) and luxury buildings 15 minutes from work have $2,500 1 beds.

I’d also say life in general is just cheaper here. Less “keeping up with the joneses” which helps keep the lifestyle costs in check.
