Love the City..can't afford it

My wife and I are both young professionals with college degrees. We love the area, and LOVE living near the beach..however..you pay for it. Cost of living here compared to the Salary Range is ridiculous. If you are single...you can FORGET about owning a house unless you make somewhere around 50-60k a year, and that will be hard to come by in Wilmington. "Sunshine" tax. Beautiful place, but way to expensive. If you are coming from New York, or Cali, yeah...the cost of living is WAY CHEAP comparatively, but unless you have a stock pile of money to live on, or a job waiting for you here that happens to pay well...you will be in for a real surprise.
