When I moved here from Sonoma (5 years ago) I was making to a penny the exact amount I made in CA. We were renting in CA, and both my wife and I were working 50-60 hour weeks. We were able to buy a home, have a child, and allow her to semi-retire while building her own business. Most people would tell me at the time how expensive Austin is, but I had to laugh a bit.
