My household income out of college was 115k. We bought a house 3 months later in Springfield. Both of us work in the valley. You don't need to live near Boston to make good money. This was done in 2022.
We had no help from family or friends.

Been in the western MA area for over 30 years. Always had a good paying job, great cost of living and little to no traffic. It's the best kept secret in MA

I hear you on this. My wife and I live in that area and do quite well for ourselves. Yeah there’s not a tech sector or pharma like eastern MA but there are good paying jobs if you want one.

What kind of jobs are out there? I work in pharma and my partner works in tech, so I feel like we’re tied to Boston.

Academic, healthcare. You have your lawyers, accountants, bankers, etc. as well. Nothing as glamorous as Boston but your money goes way further
