The United States is a very expensive neighborhood to live in. Why do you think there are so many homeless people? Real estate is hard to get when you are throwing every paycheck to bills and rent. You are basically saying, hello paycheck and goodbye paycheck. But, for some, it’s worth it because they have jobs to support their living arrangements. Who cares about money when you get to say I live in a beautiful place that eats up all that green dough. If you live in one of these cities, please teach us your ways of working. Here are the top richest cities in the United States.

Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Stamford, Connecticut

Washington D.C
With all of the government, legal, and professional jobs located in D.C. it’s not shocking to find this city at number 3. D.C. finds it’s household income at over $95,000. That’s a lot of cash for politics.
San Francisco, California
Not only the second richest city in the US, but also the most expensive place to live. San Francisco households earn around $96,677 a year. Now that income can get you close to three houses in Texas with money to spare. In San Francisco, the high cost of living makes it hard to pay off all the household bills.

We really don’t need to say much for San Jose. The city that built up some of the largest tech companies that are looked up as Gods today, like Apple, Intel, Adobe Systems, and even NASA.
