In 2021, she and her husband moved to Las Vegas, subsequently quitting her job and taking a 20% pay cut. Peck says the move and the pay cut were worth it and she loves her life in Vegas. I negotiated a huge pay bump and started making $167,500, which increased to $184,000 after I got a 10% raise. Now, I own a house triple the size of my California house and I'm paying only $4,200 a year in property tax. But if you're like me and you're transitioning to a place with lower expenses and lower taxes, it can make sense.
