I make 67k right now by living at Northvale,NJ and working at
Orangeburg NY. I am getting an offer from Santa barbara, CA. I`m not
sure if I accept where I would stay their. But please let me know the
cost of living comparison between the two. I pay $600 rent at NJ and
pay 3k car insurance.

Clarification of Question by gaurav811-ga on 05 Oct 2005 17:44 PDT

I need to know what salary would be acceptable to ask from the santa
barbara company. Also let me know the hidden expenses that I might
overlook like taxes,exemptions,utility and food costs, and long term
costs. Please elaborate.
thanks

Using the cost of living calculator at
http://www.homefair.com/homefair/calc/salcalc.html  and approximating
Northvale, NJ to Cresskill, NJ -- the closest town in the list of
cities in NJ, you would need to make 134k to live the same in Santa
Barbara, CA.
