Who is going to buy a 30K car, pay off 30K (or more) in loans with a job that pays 30K?
It's one of the reasons I'm afraid of moving and changing jobs. I have a good and secure job right now. I would love to move out of NYC but I'm not sure what I can find out there. Even though I'm ready to scale down and I already live pretty simple life. I was told that my institution receives thousands of resumes per day.
