She and her husband both have full-time jobs. After the eldest son move away for college, they sold their home and moved to Arizona. With that money, they bought another house in Arizona and had a good chunk of money leftover to put into their retirement. This new house is 1.5 times bigger than the one in CA plus it has a pool.Kirahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-42490496147615601492008-07-02T14:35:34.000-07:002008-07-02T14:35:34.000-07:00Yeah, but you have to live in Texas :)Yeah, but you have to live in Texas :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-25992555082650292292008-07-02T03:15:42.000-07:002008-07-02T03:15:42.000-07:00When my husband's former company packed up to ...When my husband's former company packed up to move to Texas, they had offered him a position. Of course, that meant we would have to move. The company had flew me and my husband out to see the new location and paid for us to get tours of the area. The tours covered showing homes, schools, shopping, entertainment, etc. What really shocked me was the housing prices. For $250K, you can get a nice 4 bedroom and 2 bath house with a big yard.Aidanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-79786861243121273762009-03-31T14:35:58.000-07:002009-03-31T14:35:58.000-07:00[...] at midnight, California will hike its tax ra...[...] at midnight, California will hike its tax rate 1%.

I finally hit the pain threshold and today began the task of looking for other places to live. I just keep thinking about how my quality of life is no longer enhanced enough to offset the high cost of living in California. I feel ripped-off. Fortunately I work for myself from home and can live anywhere.Wangonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-23563468346919114112010-05-16T06:28:22.000-07:002010-05-16T06:28:22.000-07:00[...] California, Too Expensive? :: Double Journey...[...] California, Too Expensive? :: Double Journey [...]California is too expensive: Is California too expensive and why only the rich should live in California. « New Telecom Blogshttp://newtelecomblogs.com/2010/05/16/california-is-too-expensive-why-only-the-rich-should-live-in-california/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-25947566013943024512010-05-16T09:13:02.000-07:002010-05-16T09:13:02.000-07:00[...] California, Too Expensive? :: Double Journey...[...] California, Too Expensive? :: Double Journey [...]Why I hate Californiahttp://madwords360.com/?p=6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-60804524573062031192013-05-07T13:40:07.000-07:002013-05-07T13:40:07.000-07:00The first factor that makes up the price of gas at...The first factor that makes up the price of gas at your local station is crude oil suppliers. This makes up about 59% of the price you pay for gas and it is determined by the world’s oil-exporting countries, particularly OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The amount of crude oil that these countries produce determines the price per barrel of oil.^..<br><br>Our new blog site<br><http://caramoantourpackage.com<b> </b>Donovan Iacovinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-79405594499739296332012-08-30T06:30:19.000-07:002012-08-30T06:30:19.000-07:00So true i do believe that California is way too ex...So true i do believe that California is way too expensive to live in. Housing is extremely expensive along with everything else. My biggest concern is driving. That stupid smog check is such a hassle. They are too strict and the cats required for California are too overpriced !!! I hate this state so much now. I'm form Los Angeles, and I love my city, but I really hate the fact that it's in California ! There is no doubt in my mind that there will be a huge migration from California in a very near future. I just saw an article called the top ten reasons why California is better than Texas (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Top-10-Reasons-California-is-Better-Than-Texas-67681487.html) OMG !!! This is the stupidest article I've ever read !!! Things like "our governor can Kick your governor's ass" and crap like that. But anyhow all those reasons do not out weight the crap that you have to put up with in California anymore. I know a lot of people who have fled California and they all tell me the same thing. "Leave California !!!" And hearing this from people who fled to Oklahoma !!!! Wtf does that tell you?Ih8calinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-31029063236628473632012-05-05T00:24:41.000-07:002012-05-05T00:24:41.000-07:00I moved from California to Texas and its a great p...I moved from California to Texas and its a great place to live and the houses are very cheap.Texasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-49678857961616031562012-09-21T03:29:07.000-07:002012-09-21T03:29:07.000-07:00Cost of living alone is making me, once again, cho...Cost of living alone is making me, once again, choose Santa Fe over San Francisco. On a teacher's salary in San Francisco I am "low income" and on Food Stamps and free healthcare courtesy of Healthy San Francisco, but that free healthcare only applies to two places, San Francisco General and St Luke's. In New Mexico, the same lousy teacher's salary is still "low income" but the STATE of New Mexico allows Medicaid for everyone low income regardless of being childless and non-disabled so I can have my increasing healthcare needs taken care of anywhere in the state that will take me including UNM Hospital, Indian Affairs, anywhere I choose. California refuses to do that and Healthy San Francisco doesn't cover anything taking place outside the City limits no matter what. This alone is making me glad to leave California again, teacher job nonwithstanding. I could DIE here due to nothing more than lack of healthcare I can afford. No "pro-con" lists necessary. The same job pays less in New Mexico but the difference Medicaid For All makes will be absolutely PRICELESS.Paigenoreply@blogger.com
