It's the same everywhere.. it's not how much you make, but how much you keep. Here in NY, they don't let you keep much.

Perhaps it's because the list is strange?

This is the ranking for 2005 from the source most used by companies to set cost of living allowances:

1 Tokyo, Japan
2 Osaka, Japan
3 London, United Kingdom
4 Moscow, Russia
5 Seoul, South Korea
6 Geneva, Switzerland
7 Zurich, Switzerland
8 Copenhagen, Denmark
9 Hong Kong, Hong Kong
10 Oslo, Norway
