Anonymous Coward User ID: 80412776 United States 10/13/2021 07:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I moved to Mexico in 2006. Best decision ever. Property tax for my 11 bedroom home is 50 bucks a year. Quoting: Hobgoblin238 My wife fell and skinned her leg. We thought we could treat it at home. Necrosis developed. WE rushed to the emergency room here. Wheelchair, bandage, small surgery, ointment etc....I was thinking it would be a thousand bucks. It was 50 for it. 50 dollars for that treatment in a good hospital. The only thing I miss in USA are Olive Garden, American comic books and toys. Mexico is awesome. I love Mexicans they are the best people. Very happy for you. |

Start wandering into the middle states and the wages plummet. I'm in I.T., so your experience may be different. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8460826 cost of living is lower though, so it evens out plus you will have way less stress. i made the switch. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80697404 United States 10/13/2021 07:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I traveled to Nevada/Utah/Idaho/Montana/Eastern Oregon over the summer, found out everybody else did as well. The real estate agents and their banker buddies are waiting to do business with you, and contractors that are double and triple the prices compared to other areas are readily available, no way am I that desperate to overpay those prices when there is nothing but 7/11 type jobs as the major employer, ridicules. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80935529 Fun fact Idaho and Montana don't have any seven/eleven stores so you could get in there and start one. . My point being was wages, I said nothing about actually going there, analogy much? That said, recommend an area that wasn't $250k over priced in any of those states. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80165861 United States 10/13/2021 07:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You guys are making it sound like they're all shithole states. Should I stay in W. Europe? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80521335 THIS APPARENTLY PATRIOT AMERICANS THINK ALL OF MURICA IS ONE BIG SHITHOLE AND THEY ROOT AGAINST THE US IN THE OLYMPICS MAN THEY SURE DO LOOOOVE MURICA HUH! I guess you are fairly young. Because those of us with some age have lived long enough to see this country become a shithole. When I was young parents let their kids play outside and didn't have to worry about them getting snatched by pedophiles and I grew up in Houston. You would be f-ing crazy to try that today as a parent. When I was young you could easily buy a gallon of gas for under a dollar. A gallon of milk was under a gallon and a loaf of bread was under a dollar and it was all ORGANIC. Today you can easily triple the cost yet wages have not increased to compensate for it. When I was young my parents could buy a house a good house for around 45k. Now today a good house is easily 10 times that cost. Yet I haven't seen wages increase 10 fold. When I was young I could work at a fast food joint to pay for my college expenses. That is no longer possible. Basically when I was young there was something that I could look forward to. Yet my children will not be able to look forward to shit when they get older. |

Start wandering into the middle states and the wages plummet. I'm in I.T., so your experience may be different. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8460826 Come to Tennessee. Instant 10-13% pay raise with no income tax, and lower sales tax. What are you doing? Be quiet! Tennessee is being ruined by wealthy liberals from California. I'm surrounded by them on my block and I'm miserable. The gay mafia also took over 20 years ago, the entire midstate area is blue and ruined. TN has the highest sales tax in the nation and we have a capital gains tax of 6% which kills seniors living on a savings. The core of Nashville has officially become a neighborhood of Los Angelos meets New York City, everything is glammed out and characterless. Lines at least 10 deep everywhere for crap coffee and no real social contact anymore, the fabric of the town has drastically changed in one year. Everything is geared towards gen zs, tourism, students and famous people, the local fabric of the town is broken. You have to live an hour outside of town to get any decent quality of life that resemble the old days. I give it two years before even the 60 mile radius isn't far enough and even deeper rural towns will gentrify. Houses go in the crapiest town within days now. It is extremely tough for seniors to relocate. I have a lot of personal challenges to meet to be able to relocate. Don't encourage people to move to Tennessee, it's not a place for many people. Tell them to go to Austin. Tomfoolery |
