I’m wondering if 90k is enough to not struggle? I’m from Houston, TX so the cost of living would definitely be an adjustment for me.

I think you will be ok. Will you visit before moving?

Depends what you were making in TX. If you have a significant other you would be living/splitting bills with, etc.

$90k is a good salary, so you'll be fine, but it would probably be a similar to $60k salary in Houston in terms of quality of life. If you move further West/North West in NJ, the money would go a lot further if you're willing to do a 45 minutes commute.

I live less than 10 minutes from Wayne, so feel free to PM me if you have any more questions or want someone to tell you the best food spots when you move!
