How a High Cost of Living City Raised My Money Thermostat

What if the city you live in is setting how much money feels possible for you? Jillian moved from Las Vegas to Seattle for the trees, the clouds, and the green. What she didn’t expect was that the biggest change would be to her money mindset. In a city where five-figure mortgages are normal and the median home costs more than double the national figure, her idea of “expensive” changed. So did the amount of money she felt comfortable holding, spending, and earning. In this episode, Jillian shares the real numbers behind Seattle’s cost of living, how being around bigger money raised her money thermostat, and what a $20 eyeliner revealed about hidden scarcity habits. You’ll also leave with questions to find your own set point, whether you live somewhere expensive or affordable.
