The "I live in a shithole state and can't escape because of financial issues" thread

We should start a society of our own outside of this hellhole called america.

This is like the my state has the worst drivers thread

I only hate those Americans that feel they have a right to other peoples labor. I have worked hard to get where I am, never once asking anyone, much less the government for assistance. Yet you freaks somehow think you deserve all the same for doing nothing at all. So, as far as I'm concerned once you go commie you'll never be an American.

He might live in Phoenix or Tucson those places are not a great place to be as most cities suck with traffic and filth vagrants and other undesirables. Not the place to enjoy AZ anyway.

We use to live in the country but they are building houses all around us now. We just keep moving further away from the new construction. We can live anywhere we want and we have looked at moving out of Arizona but there's nowhere better to live for us. We don't mind the summers but most can't take it when you have many days of 110+ weather. If I had to move I would probably pick rural Texas I lived there for years and loved it there as well.

Lol, eye of the beholder debate.

Some people think Florida is paradise... until some coked out maniac jumps on their windshield.

In addition to the heat here in AZ, don't forget that AZ is STILL the #1 most gun friendly state in the USA. Liberals are scared of guns. LOL.

northern Virginia...

NJ, I'm about to sell my business and property and move to a red state.

Lol, eye of the beholder debate.

Definitely one of the reasons we live here and yes they are when they see someone open carry they scurry away quickly.

I see someone open carry, how you doing what you carrying today. Liberal see someone open carry, OMG he has a real gun runs to tell the store manager asking to have him kicked out because they are scared.

I live in an open carry, castle doctrine state. I've never felt afraid.

Thanks for not being a Karen, so many of them these days.

I left Portland for Florida 23 years ago. Best move I ever made. Florida isnt perfect, I live in a small unincorporated area that is pretty Chill.

I hate to see all the snowflakes moving here. They are ruining it.

I've left multiple shit holes. Made a fortune, went to other shit holes, stayed till it was time to leave, stayed a bit longer, made a fortune somewhere else shortly after leaving.

Just go? Be positive at the next place. Be forward about shit happens and life goes on, be a good person and good people will want you around.

Till that place becomes a shitting hole for you and walk away.

Oregon is so beautiful, but I am so grateful I got away from the west coast when I did. Things are too crazy now.

I don’t think I could handle Florida as a resident because I’m too Nordic. The heat and humidity of Arkansas is already too much for me. I really want to visit Florida for vacation someday.

I was gong to say that your financial issues won't resolve until you move . . .

but then I realized your location has little to do with your financial issues . . . Sorry. They just don't. Financial issues are dependent on your personal choices.

Since your financial issues have little to do with where you live, just cut loose and move.

No excuses. Live life.

bullshit,.. lived in central Indiana most of my life rural and Indianapolis and struggled bc there simply arent any opportunities for a college grad that are worthwhile or pay even a mediocre wage allowing one to save anything.

even if youre a farmer good luck turning a profit with the economics of it now aday..or a factory worker they shipped those jobs out long ago

never made any progress financially until i moved to the southwest US almost 2 decades too late.

CA.
Stand your ground people. If all those cowards didn't leave the state then we would have a better fighting chance.
But regardless, I'm staying and fighting for my freedom.

I am one of those people. I have no energy to take on the idiots that support these mandates. They will get the hint if enough people leave. When their bottom line is suffering, they will start to look at the real problems. California is in a rapid decline and it doesn't look like it's going to improve for at least a decade.

Curious... what did you decide to do in the SW?

My experience is that the SW is very... uhhh... nepotism...

az, the valley.. and teaching. there are a million teaching jobs and high need still rising. hs, college whatever. whatever you want to teach, myself is hs science and never worried for a job in 10 yrs, however now i havent been in the classroom for over a year due to the covid bs, and mask mandates etc. i refuse to play a part in it. things are changing quick
Nepotism, maybe in some sectors? idk, but to me no place could be worse than the midwest in that regard. just my view

A decade? Maybe like 3 decades....
