Its not normal to be so superficial and so obsessed with nothing else but money. Life has so many things of greater value; money is only a necessity, but not life itself.

Its interesting how different people are that I meet from the east coast. You can actually have a conversation with an east coaster.... You can discuss politics, social issues, art, history, name it. This would not be possible in California, especially southern California and the OC. They're only interested in one thing: themselves. So they don't know and don't care about any other subject (just check the morning programs how shallow they are in So Cal. You can't even find quality news).
There are women on the east coast - honestly - who actually don't give a damn what Paris Hilton wears, have NOT had plastic surgery nor is interested in it, and are NOT planning to be a gold digger. Yes, these may be shocking statements for someone coming from California, but is nevertheless true.
To be completely blunt, I think I am soulless. I don't enjoy discussing politics, arts, history. I have to admit, yes I am rather self-obsessed. I am superficial, I love clothes, makeup, etc.

What's wrong with being interested in Paris Hilton wears? It's just entertainment just like watching sports is entertainment. Some people have a love of fashion and couture. Fashion is a form of expression and art in itself. And what's wrong with plastic surgery? If you can afford it go for it! Just because YOU don't like plastic surgery doesn't mean it's such a terrible thing.

People will condemn plastic surgery while buying expensive braces for their kids. I love when women make themselves look great. Life is too short to be confined to the mental prison of dogma. All that counts is my THR, Total Hormonal Response.

Raelyn, honey I'm with you. I've lived in Socal my entire life, and Yorba Linda the last twelve years and one thing is certain. It's not getting better here. but you have to miss the good old 91 a little bit don't you. My wife and I have decided that 52 years in paradise is enough, we are bailing out ASAP.

It's not all that bad. California is not for everybody. It's a busy place with lots of
different ethnic backgrounds. There's lots of opportunity here. You can easily make
$100k here. I'm actually from Marin county and I enjoy Orange very much. It's a place
for entepreneur people who want to make a lot of money. If you are going to seat as a secretary somewhere expect to make $30k. It's easy. It's really up to you to make
six figs. The place is beautful. The pacific coast has the best scenery.
There's tons of places to visit, restaurants, famous places, the coast, san diego,
SFO, etc. I can't complain. California has treated me real good, and gangs? I never
had a problem with gangsters. I ignore it and have never been attacked or robbed.
There's nearly no crime here compare to Las Vegas, Miami, Detroit. Please.

Oregon is a laid back state with greay hairs, and people making $25k. That's all. There
ain't no Beverly Hills in Oregon, it sure has nice parts, but nothing close to what
California is. California is a powerful economy, even with all up and down we've been
going up against now days it's still one of the best economies in the world.

In theory, moving to such a beautiful location seems a wonderful dream -- however, without the reality-check these postings provide, that 'dream' could become a rude-awakening. -- It is scary to uproot one's life 'hoping' that things 'work out;' that is why ALL the opinions here are valuable, and I for one want to THANK everyone for their WELL-INTENTIONED postings !! You have no idea how much you ALL have helped those struggling with these life decisions -- so Hooray for the gal who gave her true feelings to help others & thanks to ALL who contribute !!!
Do yourself a favor. Dont move to so-cal. Raelyn is right on the money.
