Cost of Living calculator
« on: March 14, 2018, 03:36:38 PM »
I've seen so many broad-brushed calculators out there for the cost of living in a particular area that don't have nearly enough specificity.  Does anyone have a calculator that they're fond of?  I'm digging through municipal websites to pull utility costs, but I'm having more difficulty projecting costs like property taxes and state taxes.  I tried to go through TurboTax pretending that I was a CA resident, but it asked questions I didn't have answers for.  My FIRE income will be a combination of military retirement and stock sales as I draw down the stache.  I know in most places that's taxed differently than normal wage income so I'm sure if I just pulled out the state tax forms I'd screw it up.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
