    You can live in most (by geographic area) places but they won’t be much fun tbh. Like you could live pretty comfortable in Goldsboro, NC or Fort Wayne, IN but they’re gonna be mostly ass.

    What exactly kind of life are you trying to live? At 70k pre-tax you’re taking home 50k which is about 4k per month, here’s an AirBnB in Seattle for a month that’ll run you about 2k, so you’d still have 2k to spend on living every month. This took me about 10 seconds to find. What more are you looking for?

    I’ll assume you’ll probably want your own apartment. Personally I would keep it under 2.5K a month and would prefer to do cities you would less likely visit on vacation one day with a family, just so you could explore local spots on your own pace.

    If you’re doing the east coast cities, Philadelphia is affordable and accessible to NY and DC by bus or train. Plenty of coffee shops to work remote, and no car needed.

    Chicago for the Midwest, but that would push the budget, which could be spent for the west coast. Instead, if I had a car I would consider doing short sprints of Pittsburg, Colombus, and maybe Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. Then squeeze small cities like Ashville.

    West coast, you can do Salt Lake City, and Boise. Though, if I would expand my budget so that Sacramento (get you access to NorCal), Seattle, and even San Diego are within range.

    All the travel nurses I know use Furnished Finder and my brother offers his Seattle condo on the site and says he’s had great experiences as well.

    CityNerd on YouTube has some videos on reasonable rent or otherwise low-cost US cities.

    i dunno, according to reddit if you make anything under $450k it’s poverty wages so might as well give up.
