ROFLMAO! To those people mortgaging their lives to their residences - MOVE, Y’ALL! I moved from L.A. to the Tulsa area in 2003. Have built a house and am currently selling the 1800+ square foot house on three acres that I am living in for less than $60,000. Mortgage payments for buyers around $260 per month. And that’s high for the area.
Most people who find themselves having to rent a room in a stranger’s house when they are in their 40s or 50s have made a long series of very bad decisions. It is a bad decision to stay in a costly area when you have no income, no job, no savings, and little hope of any of that improving.
MOVE, Y’ALL! There is a whole great big world outside of Southern California.
I understand! I’m from Texas and it would be cheaper back there but there are advantages of being here in CA. After ten years I still feel like I’m on vacation!
“MOVE, Y’ALL! There is a whole great big world outside of Southern California.”
Having been to most of the country being an aircraft owner I haven’t foung any place in the US I would consider living in outside of Southern California at any price!!!
My wife and I are both 5th generation Southern Californians and will do anything necessary to die here!
