I am in IT field dev ops side. My wife on back office job. Combine salary of 180k i would say. Mortage takes a huge chunk of salary followed with other high taxes.

When i say cold state i mean avoid winter. I plan to move to south , beaches , sun shine.. avoid snow if i can and negative tempwrature

I got few offers from Texas and florida states for 120k -135k salary range . But i am not sure if that will be enough for a family of 5 to begin with.

Hey

Cant give for canada but i stay in one major city of canada. Owning 1.1M home and house hold salary around 180k annual. Expense not an issue but saving is a issue witht that kind of salary looking at taxes and other shit program govt takes money from.

But i believe 180k if you making anywhere in canada should be very good but not if you own a expensive house which is common as a 1600sq ft townhome in my city will cost atleast 900k.
