It is known that in some U.S. states as well as in some other countries, the higher your income, the higher your taxes, while in others, the lower your income, the lower your taxes. The simple question I would like to ask you is this: which would you choose, to accept a job with high income in a where the cost of living is high and you pay high taxes, or go for a low paying job in a state where the cost of living is low and the taxes are low? After all, taxes never end.
It's the same because there's no greater bargaining power, unless the approach starts with a low cost of living in two different places.
A high salary and a high cost of living with high taxes is the same as a low salary, a low cost of living, and low taxes.
In my country, there's a significant difference in this regard, where you can live more luxuriously if you live in the countryside if you have a substantial source of income.
Taxes are a revenue source that the government always pursues and in our country in particular they constitute the largest source of income.
People's criteria may vary in choosing, but I myself prefer to live in a comfortable place rather than a more luxurious life, but there are problems such as traffic jams, pollution and excessive traffic jams that occur every day.
