Very inspirational stories here. Slaving all life just to have a roof over your head when you're dying. Provided there's not another dot com crash. The living in the "wealthiest country", indeed.

I'd recommend moving to Delaware. It's a nice comfortable state. Affordable, entertaining, lots to do and see. You'll forget all about California as soon as you touch down.

I don't think we've moved that far. I'm still using English

They really don't get a lot of snow there, although they do get some.

So do I. But English is still our primary language. We've certainly moved further in that we're more inclusive of non-Anglo cultures, but it's still very much the dominant culture here.

I was being facetious lol. Still though, I'd look at the east coast. I've honestly never understood the appeal of California. Fake, overpriced, obnoxiously commercialized. It's a state built for soft people who can't live a day without their white picket fence, their land rover, their gated communities. People who haven't been hardened by the real world. Plus, I don't really think you get what you pay for out there.

I prefer the sweat off your brow, working class, affordable states like Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, etc.

Sorry but what...... 100% agree CA is overpriced but, to me, there is more relief from suburbia in CA than places like Jersey, PA, or CT. And don't get me wrong... I love CT (prefer it over CA) but that is the epitome of a white picket fence type of state. Super NIMBY, especially in Fairfield County - which many people see as just as overpriced, commercialized, and fake as a place like Beverly Hills, Hamptons, etc. CT has a lot of virtues but being affordable is not known as one of them. When you compare to CA, yes, but compared to practically every other state, not really.

However I do agree that a lot of Californians struggle with the COL here thinking it's the best place to be and every other area, outside the major cities of the US, is hicksville. There are many wonderful places to live outside of CA, that cost a lot less and probably still have the things you love about CA.
