The Affordability Index: Where the Price is Right (or Not)
A comprehensive guide to the cost of living, and the art of not living
Welcome to the Affordability Index, where we track the cost of living in the most unlikely places. From the price of a decent latte in a rural town to the cost of a night out in a city that's seen better days, we've got you covered.
Our index is calculated using a complex algorithm involving a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Current Affordability Index:
1. The price of a decent apartment in a major city: $2,000/month (or 4,000 if you want a view)
2. The cost of a good night out: $20 for a beer, $50 for a meal, and $100 for a "premium" cocktail
3. The cost of a gallon of gas: $3.50 (or $5 if you're driving a Prius)
