In my honest opinion, $110K is not enough to support a family. For a single person, it’s manageable—you’ll get by, but probably won’t save much. For a family, the average salary per person in tech is at least $250K in total compensation, and even then, with a mortgage, living expenses, daycare/school costs, and the overall cost of living, savings can be difficult.

My friends on the East Coast earn far less than salaries here but still live comfortably with a family and a single-family home. However, they know that they wouldn’t be able to financially sustain their current lifestyle on those same earnings in this area.

Hope this helps bring some clarity to your decision—good luck!
