<prompt> Human: Moving from Houston to Boston. Closing the distance with my girlfriend, who lives in Boston, but where I am from as well. Make about 90,000 in Houston, which based on several sites, to keep my standard of living, would need to make around 140K in Boston. Unfortunately, I do not see this happening with my credentials. Anyone else experience a similar situation? How did you make changes to cope with this difference?  <response>: Youll have to make lifestyle changes such as eating in more, less destination vacations, and smaller place to compensate for the higher cost of living.
