Answer 1

Again it depends on where you are moving from, what your lifestyle needs are, what part of the city you plan to live in, if you are renting/owning, etc. There are many details to consider. Yes we are cheaper than California and NYC but we are not Iowa either.

And you can live on a lot less than 50K here - I lived on 12K for a year as a volunteer.

Answer 2

It depends where you are moving from & what comparisons you are making. If you compare it to the cost of living south say TX or GA, it is far more expensive for rent & owning. If you compare to CA, it is inexpensive. Your lifestyle would be comfortable if making 50-60k minimum as long as you don't need to drive the Mercedes, live in the high end area of town, etc.
