Getting on that outta state bandwagon. Despite making good money, and keeping my rent level for the past two years we are tighter than ever. I accepted a job in Phoenix, partly for the 30% decrease in cost-of-living, partly to stay within a drive-able distance of friends and relatives in San Diego. I had always assumed a six figure salary would mean I'd made it when I was younger, even if it was low six figures. That is no longer the case in California. Sick of seeing all my money go out as quickly as it comes in. I'd love to come back sometime in the future if prices ever go back to something remotely normal, but great weather and the ocean just aren't enough anymore.

I've always preached live within your means, this is me making the hard decision and practicing it. If you rent you are always one move away from getting back on track.

Debt is Slavery!

The title of this thread should change to NuttBoxer is back to California.

Recently while on Hawaii, was thinking that Hawaiians people must be sad that lgbt choose Hawaiian symbol on their flag.

To be fair CA has beautiful rural areas with similar people qualities, of course there will be the occasional transfag flag/granny, and you still have the high taxes. My favorite discovery last year was the all Trump store in Heavenly village.

I will be back many weekends. All the advantages of California with none of the bullshit.

So been a few weeks since the move wanted to share some insights. First of all, always hire movers. It's been probably 10 years since we did it all ourselves, and it was rough. It is worth it to spend the money, just be ready to document missing and damaged items, it will happen.

The other thing that we agreed on shortly after arriving, we should have left San Diego sooner. And I mean like at least 15 years ago. We're just over 2 hours from SD now, but we have three times the square footage, a HUGE pool, grass that's starting to grow back, a full size trampoline, an outside bar, two car garage. I no longer work out of my bedroom, gas is $1 less a gallon. No traffic, good private school that we don't have to pay for. If we had moved 15 years ago, we'd own a home by now, and I mean no mortgage, and probably nicer than the one we're in.
It's been hot more than a few days, over 115, but it's honestly not that bad. Seemed worse the first time around in Glendale(Phoenix area). We could have lived a lifestyle commensurate to my earnings this entire time. But we didn't want to move back then.

Just glad we're here now...

Caligulan Splendor has its upsides, even in the desert.

Are you planning to Globalist eradicate 90 percent of the population so that California becomes your private reserve? Otherwise, there will ALWAYS be California bullshit.

To get rid of the bullshit we just need to eradicate the 1% in Sacramento.
