Gotta Pimp

Doesn’t it seem like New Yorkers are always bitchin’ about having to fork out ridiculous amounts of cash for regular day-to-day living? According to CNN’s stats they do have a good reason to; NY topped out the US list (ranking at #13 in the world.) Shouldn’t they be healthier? After all, it can’t be easy spending 7 bucks on a pack of cigarettes. Even the necessities like milk and bread are pricey, generally a gallon of milk costs $2.82 in the city.

1. New York, NY
2. Los Angeles, CA
3. White Plains, NY
4. San Francisco, CA
5. Chicago, IL
6. Miami, FL
7. Honolulu, HI
8. Houston, TX
9. Washington, DC
10. Boston, MA

Now that you know where NOT to move you’re probably just as curious as I was about the cheapest city. If you wanna get the most bang for your buck cruise over to Winston Salem, NC where the cost of living is similar to that of a third world country (exaggerating a bit.) The survey was conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting; they use it to consult large international firms on what to pay their employees.
