I have two things holding me in this state, one is my grandparents, they are the only family I have left here and don't want me to leave until after they are gone, second is my company, I do well here so it would be a huge transition to start that over somewhere else although it could be done. If it weren't for those two reasons I would be gone already, I truly do not overly enjoy living here, I hate the fact that if I want to go anywhere I have to sit in traffic for hours, it's hot as hell in the summer and we get no rain in the winter (Arid desert). The cost of living in through the roof and there is no neighborly love, no one gets together to do anything anymore, just a bunch of grumpy *** people living next to each other and everyone is so far over extended trying to keep up with the Jones that we all work 7 days a week or can't afford to go out and do anything because of all the fancy crap we own. It's really quite depressing watching it all the time. People out here live to work and thats it. Where else can you make 45 bucks an hour and your wife make good money and you still can't afford to go out to dinner on a saturday night? Where else is it more important to pay 5 grand a month for a house and 1500 a month in cars to not be able to afford to drive them, it's crazy. Living in SoCal is truly not as enjoyable as some make it out to be. I will be done with my little rant now. I just hope I can get out before my daughters realize what they are growing up in.
The problem with that..is there is always one more excuse. I have wanted to leave here for about 10 years..but I am so involved with many Town projects, and the good people here in Town..I dont think we will go until we retire. I live with 80 acres of land, people wave at my rig when I go down the road..and I dont leave town much for work...I eat lunch at the same booth with 5 other guys every stinkin day... and more come in depending on jobs and the day. We get more done at the lunch counter than our small town selectmen do in a month.
Living for your belongings is not living... you need to visit your relatives when you can, and do what makes you happy...or live with the misery you call life.
I would never live in a congested, hot and lifeless area...Get out and dont think twice...or your stuck .. but thats just my opinion.:2cents:
