But here are a couple of things to consider.
1. If I make more than approx $106k a year, I cap out on paying FICA.
2. As far as I know, everything I buy at places like Amazon costs the same regardless of where I live (with in the US).
3. Many financial incentives are provided as a percentage instead of a raw dollar amount e.g. 401k's are usually matched by percentage, raises are often a percentage increase.
