I am looking for some advice from anyone willing to help! I am applying for a SA Rotating this next cycle and already started looking at places so I can have an idea of where I am interested prior to 4th year clinics. I'm interested in Anesthesiology post internship and have a list of maybe 40 places that would have boarded anesthesiologists on staff while I am there. On this list I made note of the average cost of living according to VIRMP and am comparing it to the salaries and based on the numbers alone it knocks out maybe 95% of the locations I am looking at. I know this isn't a new topic and gets talked about a lot but how should I approach looking at locations from a financial point of view. I won't have any outside help from family and will be going solely off what salary is offered from where ever I match. I would hate for money to deter me from a location if all the other attributes are great about the school/practice. I just don't know how to gauge a future cost of living if I don't live there currently and If I will be able to make it there off what I'm given.
Some additional background: I will be traveling/living with my partner who is still in school online and our 2 dogs. We have lived very frugally in the past and are ready to do so again in order to make ends meet.
