Good thing it is an obscene amount, really. One of my flisters lives there and I think she mentioned that the pay to remain at the same standard of living would have to be 3 or 4 times the amount you get in normal America (California doesn't count).

They are actually POORER than they were before they moved up there, and it's heartbreaking. But they are in Kenai and so they can both work. Which is good because in a lot of those cities the wives can't find work with the unemployment being so high normally.

But it is beautiful (if cold--ick!), and much more "homey". I'd love to raise my son in a rural setting like that.
