Cost of Living Figures

The Topeka Capital Journal recently had an article that discussed the costs of living in Topeka (Kansas) versus other cities in Kansas and the country.

According to the article a person making $30,000 in Topeka would need these amounts to live in the corresponding cities (ranked cheapest to most expensive).

  • Omaha, NE: $29,454
  • Oklahoma City,OK: $30,453
  • Lawrence, KS: $30,926 (Kansas University)
  • Manhattan, KS: $31,881 (Kansas State U.)
  • Denver, CO: $33,955
  • Los Angeles, CA: $50,694
  • New York, NY: $68,551

    So looking at cities the size of Topeka or larger, it is actually cheaper to live in Omaha. Maybe I should take a drive straight up US-75 to the city up north to look at relocating. Of course, that won't happen. At least not just for that reason. There is one city that came in cheaper then Omaha (at least for the comparison of the article). That city, Salina, KS, is smaller then Topeka.

    It's also important to point out that Manhattan, KS is not only a college town, but also is very close to Fort Riley in Junction City, KS. Topeka is larger then of the Kansas cities listed above, but smaller then any of the out of state cities.

    Many banks and credit debt companies which have piled up their stocks are expanding their personal and commercial services. On individual level, student loan services are being offered at nominal interest rates. While commercially, banks have really queued up to sell out the merchant accounts combined with a merchant card. Merchant account lets you accept the online payment through credit cards. Such services can now easily be availed through online bank.
