if you like to save and can live only on the basics why would you move to a city? let alone a city that costs as much as this one

you can live pretty comfortably on 130k, but if youre intent on saving youre not going to take much advantage of what the city offers.

take into account we have the highest electric bills on average in the country and some of the highest gasoline/natural gas costs in the country and its really not a great place to save
