Did I post about this?
I’m 70. My family has been farming in Ventura since the mid-1800s. I, OTOH, have worked as an institution equities trader around 40 years.
I like LA. A lot. I like driving ... and I like driving sports cars. And I just bought a new house ... probably my last and I’m decorating, putting in wood floors and decorating in general. I wake to the sun ... NO SNOW, NO HUMIDITY for my whole life. I’m up on a hill with few neighbors.
I’m not leaving. There are things I would change, but it’s better than leaving.
I understand. I did love living there, but found, even with two good incomes, it was tough to make ends meet. Just moved east of California and life is much easier. We love to drive over for a visit, but I am relieved that I no longer have to sweat the end of the month.
