I agree, but a significant portion (maybe even most) of our country's population do live in very high cost of living areas such as the west cost, DC, Boston, and Miami.

The situation is vastly different in most of the country's less remarkable cities, like San Antonio, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, or Nashville, and I think articles like this only ever account for one side of the equation or the other.

To someone living in DFW (my home), "needing" almost $200k is insane. Honestly I doubt I'd know what to do with that money unless I just bought a bunch if shit I don't want.
