A few years ago, I considered applying for a job in Jackson Hole, Wyo., but was stunned when I learned about its sky-high cost of living, since costs seemed so reasonable in places like Laramie. However, I was told that Jackson Hole, where a lot of glitterati apparently make their home, “is not like the rest of Wyoming.”
I have turned down many transfers and offers due to the cost of living difference from East Texas to other parts of the country. It just wasn’t worth it.
