The house I live in now is worth over million for sure.
I'm like Magnum PI living in the guest house.

Has anyone here ever lived in a home worth $1,000,000 or more?
- Thread starter casa_mugrienta
- Start date
Mountains, deserts, hiking, biking are all available anywhere else in the American West. With a house to go home to that costs half of what it does here, with gas that costs half, with less of a tax burden, and a job that pays less, yes, but not so much less that you don't feel the sting of cost of living
And the downsides aren't just in Southern California where I live now or where I used to live. They're in all of California in every region.
You can justify it to yourself all day long, and honestly I'm 90% not going anywhere, but that's not going to change the fact, not opinion, that it is too expensive here
Yeah, I'm about to be real pessimistic for a few days when my mortgage payment goes through. For what I own and what I paid (nowhere near being worth a million though) it would give a lot of you an aneurysm.
Lot's of great places in the US to live and I've visited nearly every state at this point; but it just so happens CA checks off a lot of those 'its a really great place to live' check boxes. Everywhere is a balance and has it's downsides and upsides, and it's really easy to fall into the trap where the downsides blind the good sides. Nowhere is perfect.
It's not about the cost, it's about the value.
If you don't see a value in all the things that Kento listed, best move somewhere with shitty weather, no waves and slack gun laws.
New Jersey is calling your name.
Guess what, I found out that the area behind my fence where the eucalyptus trees used to be, before HOA cut them down, belongs to me.That Euc has gotta go first
How are you going to be able to handle being so far away from GromsDad?
Or is ifallalot your new crush?
Bigger question is will Fecal let you have him? Can we livestream the catfight here?
I know surfers who live in California and don’t surf in California. They surf in Indo and snowboard Utah. Their rapidly appreciating homes and businesses are in California
Not year round though. You don't have to remote start your car here because you'll freeze to death while waiting for it to warm up. You don't have to shovel snow. You don't have to worry about your pipes freezing. And so much other bullshit.
We could probably save more in another state but it would be such a shadow of the current existence.
But if you don't partake in the outdoors and the other positives of California, then yeah, I guess it wouldn't make any difference if you lived in Nebraska.
I do understand your mortgage triggering though. It hurts but it's budgeted.
I strongly disagree and surprised anyone would think this.
Yes its expensive, and that's a huge downside no doubt. Among others.
But to say the only reason to live there is for surf? Give me a break. I've never had so much opportunity for so many different activities at my fingertips. If you only see the opportunity to surf there you're being lazy, which I am sure you are not.
