And a 7.25%-10.85% sales tax depending on where you live if you decide to buy anything. 1% property tax (based on value of home) every year. 72 cent per gallon tax on fuel. If you smoke, prepare to pay $4 more for your nicotine in tax. Registering a vehicle? Has to be done every year, and if it's a pickup truck - get ready to bend over for a weight tax. You even get taxed on OTHER people's DUI's by registering your vehicle.
People who aren't from here seldom understand. My wife and I make six figures, sounds like a lot, but We could live more comfortably in other places making half as much.
Yep, I remember my first job here when my boss said $500k/year was a middle class life in CA and I balked. It's probably not that high, but you need to make well above $100k to have a normal life int he city.
California 13% state tax will make you do that. Imagine how much he will save.
