In several cities across Texas and the Midwest, a $100,000 salary isn't eaten up by taxes and a high cost of living, Bloomberg reported.  The publication analyzed a recent study from financial information provider SmartAsset. Researchers applied local, state and federal taxes to $100,000 salaries in different U.S. cities, then adjusted the remaining income using cost-of-living data in each area. Necessities like groceries, utilities and transportation were accounted for.  Workers earning $100,000 in these 10 cities see the most of their paycheck as pure take-home pay, according to SmartAsset:  1.
