How To Become A Rich Man North of Richmond
Oliver Anthony’s hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond” struck a cord in me. Not because of how poetic the song is or how beautifully sung it was, but because of the disconnect between the people in the comments to the message of the song. Instead of hating the rich men north of Richmond, if…

People are complaining of $7 a dozen eggs when Costco sells organic eggs for $4 a dozen…
Another benefit of living in a HCOL is the closer you are to a Costco. At Costco, you can buy organic eggs for $4 a dozen. They come in a pack of 24 eggs. So while you’re living in your LCOL area and paying $7 for a dozen non-organic eggs, you could be living in…

HCOL isn’t actually bad or good
The “High” in “High Cost Of Living” (HCOL) is subjective. For people living in New York City that earn over $500,000 a year, a $4500 a month rent for 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom might not seem “high.” It’s normal. To someone moving to New York City from the south or midwest where a 2 bedroom,…
