I'm curious - since people living "up there" have northern allowances and probably an employer pay scale that takes into account the cost of living - does working the same job up there balance out in terms of buying power? In other words, does your pay while living up north mean that a $60 bag of breaded chicken is no big deal (ie. the same to you as a $20 bag is here to me)
