I m from Michigan and am being forced to start my career out of state due to it s horrible economic condition. With that being said, I ve been offered a job in Northampton, MA. Went out there for a couple days last week and thought it was a very cool town and beautiful area. Any opinions on it and Massachusetts in general by those who have lived there? I m told cost of living and taxes are a little higher than most of the country. Should $70,000 a year be enough to live comfortably? Any thoughts would be appreciated
Northhampton is a very cool hip town. The only real downside is that New England winters are nasty, but you being from Michigan amust be used to it, so you can probably cope. 70,000 should be plenty to live in Noho comfortably
On 70K/yr you should be QUITE comfortable in Northampton. That area is considerably less costly than the Boston area. If you like the job, I d say Go for it! .
yes, now- Welcome to Massachusetts (:
yes i think $70,000 is definitely enough for that area! good luck
