Cost of living /= lifestyle

It's a standard based on location....not how many cars you decide to buy.

uh if you're entire salary/paycheck is going to the dictionary term "cost of living"... you're living in the wrong place. end of story.

edit: and your lifestyle dictates how much additional monies you're spending- significantly.

Wrong!

Your lifestyle is a culmination of how comfortably you can live on your income. If you're making 30k a year, you're not living in a big house and driving fancy cars.


I don't understand why this is so hard for you to accept.

if i choose to be a vegetarian, that is a lifestyle choice. if i choose to sit on rugs and meditate, eliminating the need for furniture, that's a lifestyle choice.

if i choose to live an extravagant lifestyle.. that's a choice. that has nothing to do with the cost of living. the cost of living has a direct impact on how extravagant my life can be, sure.
