I know a lot of Cape Codders who are thinking or at least dreaming about moving further South.
\nAnd by South, I don’t mean Rhode Island.<\/p>

\nSick of the high cost of living and the absence of jobs, these IT professionals have mentioned places like Sarasota, FL and Beaufort, SC.
\nPersonally, it would be a stretch for me to live in a state that either won the election for Bush or lost the primary for McCain.
\nStill, out of curiosity, when I ran across a neat web app<\/a> that shows differences in cost of living, I ran a comparison on Boston versus Hilton Head. I picked Hilton Head because as beautiful as people say it is, I assumed it would be as ridiculously outside the means of average people as living around here has become.
\nBoy, was I wrong.
\nTo maintain the same purchasing power,
\na salary of $ 65,000 in Boston MA
\nneeds to be $48,939.89 in Hilton Head Island SC
\nIn going from Boston MA to Hilton Head Island SC
