Cost Of Living

You know the staff in your hospital are underpaid when you drive a base-model Subaru, and staff come up to you and say, “I wish I could afford a car like that.”

Also, you aren’t sure whether to point out that by quitting their pack-a-day smoking habit, they could buy a new Subaru every nine years. (Assumes Smallish State average of $5.58/pack, and $18,295 sticker price for an Impreza.)
