I will not be registering it next year. Buying a 90s pos car and paying cash.
Cost of living is very cheap compared to other cities.
My car insurance is high. Very high. 169 a month. Clean record and I am 31. Over double what I was paying back east.

I recommend you shop for new car insurance. I have a new truck and car and only pay half what you're paying per month.

I hear a lot about how high insurance is in the Valley. Ours dropped substantially moving here from Rhode Island. I guess it depends what you are accustomed to..

Big hill facing west, 100k a year, typical uneducated, arrogant, blue collar Vegas degenerate. Vegas is perfect for you, honey.

That is a terribly unfair, ignorant comment...you know nothing about Scoop. He adds more intelligent content to this forum than most.

Thanks for the thumbs up. But it really doesn't matter to me if someone wants to call me a degenerate. I'll let my posts speak for themselves.

I honestly thought this person knew a place where a couple restaurant workers could make bank besides Las Vegas. Turns out it's just another person who hates the fact that well-paid employees who don't hold advanced degrees exist. (I haven't used my degree in a professional manner in almost 10 years.) I'd rather play with food and get paid for that, instead.

My car insurance is $66/month in Vegas. I'm also 31, male, 2007 SUV. 100/300 liability, $500 deduct on col and comp. You need to shop around I think, or you drive a $200,000 truck?

Maybe its time for you to change careers!

Ok. Pm me where you got insurance. I went to several places. 169 was the cheapest.

Well, I've met Scoop several times. He does live on a big hill facing west, does very well financially, and is pretty far from uneducated, or a degenerate, but thanks for playing.
