We love Brooklyn as much as the next web site and probably more, but who doesn&#8217;t have some kind of escaape fantasy of picking up and heading to, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming? And what does it take to afford a town like that?

<p>We love Brooklyn as much as the next web site and probably more, but who doesn&#8217;t have some kind of escaape fantasy of picking up and heading to, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming? And what does it take to afford a town like that?</p>
<p>CNN.com answers that question with a<a href="http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.html" target="_self"> totally addictive calculator</a> that lets you compare how much you&#8217;d have to earn in another American city to maintain your current lifestyle. If you now make $100,000 a year (shouldn&#8217;t you be on <a href="http://www.brokelyn.com" target="_self">Richlyn.com</a> instead?) you&#8217;d need to pull in only <span id="comparableSalary" class="BlueFontLargeSize">$83,394 a year in Cheyenne. (They don&#8217;t have a Fairway, FYI.) How about some other cities?</span><span id="more-3273"></span></p>
<p>Towns that cost more than Brooklyn include Honolulu, where you&#8217;d have to earn $134,121 per year. Los Angeles and San Francisco continue the trend of high-cost Pacific living, requiring $120,316 and $140,034, respectively.</p>
<p>Right on par with Brooklyn is Kodiak or Anchorage Alaska, where you&#8217;d have to earn $102,000.</p>
<p>Other cities are definitely Brokelyn-approved, well at least monetarily. You can get by in Georgia for three quarters of what you spend now in Brooklyn ($79,305 in Atlanta, $72,916 in Americus). Then there&#8217;s Omaha, Nebraska, where you could get by on an unintimidating $71,774.</p>
<p>So thanks to the Internet, we now know how much life in Brooklyn is worth. We used to say millions, but that was before we heard Pittsburgh was $76,053.<br style="clear:both;" /></p>
