Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:00:15 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — A lot, it turns out. Financial advisor SmartAsset analyzed economic data from 76 U.S. cities to find which required the most income to actually maintain $100,000 of spending power after taxes and local cost of living are accounted for. Green Valley Ranch violence spiked 50% in 2022 Denver ranks 22nd-highest for the income needed, though its relatively low tax rate compared to other high-cost cities saves it from being higher on the list. It takes $162,700 in yearly income to feel like a Denver household is actually making six figures. Aurora ranks directly after Denver with $162,500 needed. Colorado Springs is slightly lower in cost of living, so households need $155,500 to approximate a six-figure income. The highest on the list are Honolulu, Hawaii; New York City and San Francisco. In each of these cities, it takes over $300,000 a year to achieve $100,000 in spending power. It's much easier to live large with less in southern cities. Memphis, Tennessee; El Paso,...

At one point, he retired 15 consecutive hitters in the Chicago Cubs’ 10-1 victory.Yet the 25-year-old right-hander wasn’t satisfied by holding the A’s to one run in seven innings while striking out seven with no walks.“Man, I don’t know. I feel good about it, but I don’t feel great. Maybe (Tuesday) I’ll watch it and I’ll feel happier about it,” Wesneski said.“Early I didn’t have the confidence, then the third, fourth inning I started to get into a rhythm, but it still didn’t feel great. The sixth and seventh inning, they got me right where I needed to be. Yes, I feel good, but the first couple innings I still didn’t feel like myself. I had to grind through it and we got to this point.”Wesneski has often been harsh in assessing his per...
