where should i move to and live?
« on: August 12, 2008, 10:19:21 AM »
totally off topic, but anywhere here it goes. sick of living in the midwest! only good thing is the cost of living!

thinking in about 2 years moving to either cali or arizona. all the areas i'm looking into has it good and bad points! the areas that i've narrowed it down to are either in arizona, phoenix or tucson and in cali, either santa monica, the del reys (playa and marina) and northern san diego county like escondido, san marcos, oceanside,etc.)

like i said each area has their good and bad points! arizona is way cheaper than cali, but no ocean and hotter than hell plus perhaps kind of boring after awhile?

cali the santa monica/del rey area right on the water, the vibe of the bb world, but outrageously expensive practically unlawful how much it cost to live in that area if your not filthy rich!

cali, northern san diego county, beautiful not too far from the ocean, great climate, a bit cheaper than the whole santa monica,venice, del rey scene and also cheaper than orange county (redondo, manhattan, newport beach towns) quiet but not boring area too.

any ideas guys? i make only decent moolah ($60,000 plus or so a year) god knows i'll never be able to afford a house in cali, of course not sure if i want too though. just looking for a nice 2 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse,condo,apartment in an area where the cost of living is fair, the climate is awesome, great scenery, things to do, a bb/fitness atmosphere,etcetera ( am i asking for too much! laugh)

man I understand I live in northern cali about 6hours north of L.A, San diego, Oceanside, Santa Monica etc. and I love it down there so fun so many chicks but can be expensive though. I live about hour from san francisco, and oakland and two to three hours from santa cruz or monterey but I rather much be down south its kind of boring in central cali and anyways being around people who have money will make you bring your A game beause u will befriend a majority of rich people so you know how the saying goes If you want to make money u have to surround yourself around those whom make money and you'll pick up tips and habits on how to become more financially secure and stable I planning on moving down there too good luck bro ps. texas is not half bad it is hot but while the rest of the country is in a recession they are prospering I did advertising and sold cars while I was there this year San Antonio is a fun city very cheap and great nightlife so you might want to take that into consideration, but in the hollywood l.a area u never know who u will see or who u will meet and u can become or do anything possibilitiea are endless

60k is what you make where you live now.  that's not the same as what you'll be able to make in the new location.  depending on what you do, you might be able to make much more, or not nearly as much.

a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in so cal is probably $2k/month, even more as you get closer to the ocean.

plus the areas you list are very different.  SD and OC are very suburban, very white and very conservative.  SM is very Bohemian.

you'd probably be better off first finding a job, then figuring out how much you can afford for rent and how far you want to commute.

Junior, a 1 bedroom apartment in Santa Monica OR Marina Del Rey will set you back $1,500-2K per month. It does not get more expensive, and about 4 times the cost of a shit hole like Escondido or Oceanside.

I had a buddy that moved to Bilouxi Mississippi (sp?) and was on the water in a nice 1 bedroom for 750 a month...... said he really liked the area.

There's always Dubai, India.....

One night in Dubai and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the cars ain't free
You'll find a schmoe in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a he
I can feel an sheik sliding up to me

Depending on what type of work Tom does, his cost of living and disposable income  could be sweet in Myrtle Beach.  Beach, babes, beer, and barbells.  Doesn't sound too bad.

Hahahahaha. 60K/yr is decent cash in the midwest.  That ain't SHIT here in Cali. Not trying to be mean, but come rent a place for the summer and see whta the cost of living is out here.

They say you have to make a minimum of 86K/yr to have a fighting chance at getting into your own house. And remember, gas here is still over 4 bucks a gallon...

If you aren't following a job out here, I really don't know why you would move here...

Everybody doesnt make 60k a year in cali young buck. I say 60k is "decent" amount of money.

CO = Midwest hell hole

Your money will work in AZ.

Does your position pay more in CA? 

If you need a beach...then think FL if that is possible.  You salary works better in southern states.

Sarge,

60K is the MINIMUM you need to live in Cali, and not live paycheck to paycheck.

Assuming you want a decent standard of living of course...

And assuming you actually want to get a little ahead every month....

6 hrs north of LA is not Norcal. You have to be north of Modesto to be in Norcal.
