Hello,

I've always wanted to live in California, however, my friends that live there stated its crazy expensive and they're working two jobs just to get by. Therefore, I wanted to know for those of you who've recently relocated to California, what was your determing factor in moving and how are you dealing with the cost of living?


Thanks!!!

How old are you and what do you do for work? It is not wise to move to California if your only options are working two jobs or making minimum wage. If you only have yourself to support and have an actual salary, then it's not hard at all.

Gallup did a survey recently and found that a third of the state lives in poverty.
Don't move without a plan -- a SOLID plan.

I do a little pole dancing on the side to supplement my income.

This really depends on what you and your ancestors believe.
It is the fact and our believe that my genes come from my father and mother.
Their genes come from their fathers and mothers.
If you keep going up stream, you should know that our genes come from the first life with genes on earth.
This also means the genes we have never die. It is passing down from the first life with genes on earth.
So the purpose of life is to increase the chance of survival rate of our genes.

Passing down wealth to our genes is one of the ways to increase the survival rate of our genes.

If your genes do not believe in this, then our genes have greater advantage than yours.

OP, get yourself a viable career, something that pays well enough for you to meet the living expenses here. That's how people do it. Kind of a silly question.

Post of the Year candidate. So far beyond the pale, it just begs the question WHY? These are puzzlements.

I think the poster was saying, that to live in CA, hope for an inheritance.
