I'm not offended. I'll give you housing. I'm nowhere close to being able to afford a home. But I'm fine with an apartment. Doing a rough estimate of housing in places I might consider moving to, I might be able to save 5k-10k/yr. I could save more after actually looking, and maybe get a nicer place.
But I don't think saving that money would be worth the long term cost of moving to a place where I would be overpaid for my experience level. I might get lower raises, and I think I would have a hard time getting a competitive offer as a remote worker.
The calculations would change if I had a family. I'd be be able to afford a really nice house in the state where I went to school.
