Comment: 180k, 7-day-week in California is synonymous to receiving 400k-a-month, 7-day-week in Ikoyi. Both life-altering jobs. California tax is on another level and the cost of living makes six-figure salary look like five-figures.
My Response: Anywhere in America, $180k is a top range. If you ask ChatGPT or use the dept of Labour data, that $180k in CA may be at least $100k in 99% of American states/cities. So, I do not know what your theory is. Give me a city and I will tell you what $180k equates to. That will be top range.
Also, on taxes. You can live in CA and NY with no need for a car because they provide public amenities. Even if the state takes say $10k on that $180k, with available public transport, you are better than someone who owns and maintains a car in Alabama but pays $2k state tax on an equivalent salary (say $90k) for the same standard of living.
In Alabama, you keep your money but get not much from the state. But in CA, they take your money and will provide lots of things. Statistically, you are better in CA because by pooling those resources, everyone becomes better. When I came, I was in Alabama. I needed a car the next day and had to buy a car. But when I moved to Maryland, I did not need a car for 4 years because public transport was there. I would have been better off paying AL state government more taxes to avoid owning a car!
On the Ikoyi, that is totally off, respectfully. I think it is a joke, so, no comment.
