Reality Check

Reality Check from the North Carolina Department of Commerce is an engaging online tool designed to estimate the income necessary to support your desired lifestyle. You'll be asked questions about where you’d like to live in North Carolina and how you spend your money. From there, you’ll be directed to jobs that meet your financial needs.
