$70k per year is a great salary. I'm making $60k per year at my job and another $13k per year renting out two of my spare rooms but you don't have to put up with two other people in your house plus you're living in Ohio so you're $70k goes a lot further then my $70k.

You probably live in a bigger place too.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

6 figures
is nice, but it just breeds a strong tendency to spend 6 figures too.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

$70k for an ordinary chemical engineer job??
I can see why people move from Sweden to the states to work... 
Working as a chemical engineer in Sweden you earn around $34k at first and maybe, after many years in the profession, you can get up to $67k...I love being beaten by women - LorizaelComment

Well done, Japher. You lined up the new job first, and quit w/o being an ass about it. Bravo, and congratulations.

Yes, but how much do you have to spend monthly to get decent health care and stuff in the states? I saw some figures in a thread by Tia and I thought those were quite high...Originally posted by Caligastia

If you have a job with a large company, and good benefits, it shouldn't cost you more than two or three hundred dollars a month to cover yourself, your spouse, and a child.Originally posted by Zoid

I imagine it varies quite a bit.
The total cost of my healthcare is about $1500/year. That's just for me. My wife probably pays more (same company, but she makes more).
