Fort Worth, Texas.....It has the lowest cost of living with the highest salary ratios in the country.  A 3000 square foot home in California costing $600,000 can be purchased in Fort Worth for less than $250.000.  In addition, Texas does not have state income tax as most other states do.  You will bring home more money in Texas than in most other states.  NYC and California are two of the most expensive places to live in the U.S.  Fort Worth is growing rapidly and there are plenty of opportunities for a variety of careers.\n\nGood luck and live well!

Definitely the Midwest.  Biggest affordable cities would include Des Moines, Milwaukee, and places in Nebraska, Kansas, Ohio.  Probably cheaper in small towns than big cities, too.  Check out the Money Magazine search list below.

I went to NY last year, and I know that Dustin Hoffman, Yoko Ono, Harry Belafonte, Mariah Carey, Robert DeNiro, Billy Joel, Spike Lee, Madonna, Mike Myers, Al Pacino and Vanessa Williams live there at least part time =D  There are a lot more, I just cant remember.  Most of them live around the perimeter of Central Park, cause they are the most expensive buildings.  The only person I saw in person was the girl from Smallville, Lana Lang.

I have a niece who recently moved to NYC.  She and her friends have found the housing in Brooklyn to be the most reasonably priced.  There's public transportation everywhere in the city.

It is thought that John D. Rockefeller is the richest man that ever lived (adjusted for inflation).  He paid for the creation of Rockefeller center in New York and started the University of Chicago with its initial endowment.  It would be very difficult to find someone richer than him from the eras before modern accounting.

I believe we must be allowed to invest the 7.5% of our pay taken every payday for social security ourselves.  As an experiment the SS Admin. allowed the city of Galveston, TX. to withdraw from the SS system about 35 years ago.  The citizens of Galveston were allowed to privately invest there 7.5% them selves.  Now the average citizen in Galveston is retiring with 4 to 5 times the amount of money than the national average of citizens drawing SS benefits.

New York City is called the Big Apple.

Santa Monica is probably the most expensive, followed by San Diego. L.A is probably your best choice as the population is quite diverse and the cost of living is not as bad.

They all suck, but Salary.com sucks a little bit less than the others.\n\nThe best thing to do would be to do it on your own.\n\nTrack your cash spending for one week.  Divide monthly expenses by 4 (credit cards, utilities, rent, loans).\n\nFor the most expensive city you are looking to move to, check out their rent (www.Craigslist.com), utilities, and gas/public transportation.  Also check local restaurant menus to compare prices.  Check local markets' online ordering for food prices.

Funny you ask that questions, I was just reading about this this morning. Check below from Fox New, hope this helps:)\nCensus: Fastest Growing U.S. Cities Are in Suburbs \nWednesday, June 21, 2006\n \n STORIES \n•College Grads Chase Jobs, Culture to Big U.S. Cities•Census: Americans Moving to Rural Areas \nWASHINGTON — Elk Grove, Calif., wasn't even incorporated six years ago, and now it's the fastest-growing city in America. \n\nBigger, older cities are losing ground.\n\nThe Sacramento suburb grew by 11.6 percent last year, to 112,000 people, typifying the nation's appetite for open spaces, affordable homes and suburban living. Once a rural farming community, Elk Grove has given way to sprawling development, fueled by a short commute to Sacramento and local employers such as Apple Computer.\n\n"Ten to 15 years ago is when the housing started coming in. That was followed by the businesses," says Janet Toppenberg, president and CEO of the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce.\n\nAmericans have been moving west and south for decades, and last year was no different. All but three of the 50 fastest-growing cities from 2004 to 2005 were in those regions of the country, with many in California and Florida, according to Census Bureau estimates Wednesday. The estimates were for cities with populations of 100,000 or more.\n\nClick here to read more on the report from the Census Bureau.\n\n(Story continues below)\n\n ADVERTISEMENTSAdvertise Here  \n \n\n\nElk Grove was followed in the top five by North Las Vegas, Nev.; Port St. Lucie, Fla.; Gilbert, Ariz., and Cape Coral, Fla.\n\nAll five are suburban, and all have fewer than 200,000 residents.\n\n"We have a pattern that is consistent across the country," said Hans Johnson, a research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. "Families choose to move to areas where they can buy more housing for less money and often with better schools."\n\nAmericans also are moving away from many of the nation's biggest cities, though the reasons vary with the cities.\n\nPeople are following jobs out of struggling Midwestern cities. Others are leaving expensive Northeastern and Western cities in search of more affordable homes. And people are fleeing big cities everywhere in search of better schools.\n\nNew York remained the nation's largest city, with 8.1 million people. The city has added 135,000 people since 2000, but it lost 21,500 from 2004 to 2005, more than any other city.\n\nDetroit, with its struggling economy, has lost 65,000 people since 2000, the most of any city. Philadelphia, which has lost about 50,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, has lost 54,000 people during the same period.\n\nSan Francisco, with the highest real estate prices in the country, has lost 37,000 people since 2000, according to the Census Bureau.\n\nThe bureau issues annual population estimates based on building permits, housing units and other changes since its 2000 headcount.\n\nStates sometimes dispute those estimates based on their own calculations. For example, California officials estimate that San Francisco has grown by 22,000 people since 2000, rather than shrinking. But even if the city did add people, it did so at a much slower rate than cities in the center of the state, said John Malson, a research manager for the state Department of Finance.\n\n"The housing market out here has gone nuts, especially in the coastal areas," Malson said.\n\n"The Central Valley is still more affordable than the coast," he added. "A lot of people are moving out from the Bay area."\n\nMost of the big cities that gained population were in the South, according to the Census Bureau.\n\nIn overall numbers, Phoenix added the most people — 44,400 — from 2004 to 2005, giving it a population of nearly 1.5 million.\n\nNew Orleans, an exception in the South, had already lost population before Hurricane Katrina. The city lost about 30,000 people from
