IL here.
Plenty down south/central here will stay and fight.
Figure I'm in decent company.
However eventually I hope to call southern MO home.
If we make it long enough.

If you come from somewhere that people ask for money every time you get gas. You would have a different set of values from where someones regularly buts free coffee to people who don’t need it.
You wouldn’t get unless you have seen it.
It does exist but the people can easily see the ones who don’t fit. They are born with it.

I moved to Mexico in 2006. Best decision ever. Property tax for my 11 bedroom home is 50 bucks a year.

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.

I don't like living in the NY/NJ area, but traveled around and found that I can really only have the highest standard of living in places like the Northeast Coast and West Coast. Start wandering into the middle states and the wages plummet. I'm in I.T., so your experience may be different.

cost of living is lower though, so it evens out plus you will have way less stress.

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.

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?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37171402


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.

Come to Tennessee. Instant 10-13% pay raise with no income tax, and lower sales tax.
 Quoting: Flying Elvii


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.

Re: The "I live in a shithole state and can't escape because of financial issues" thread
We moved to E/NC on the coast 9 years ago .

A NYS native from Rochester NY . At 45 I took my kids < 3 > and wife to NC on $ 6,000.00 We sold all our shit , gave tons away and invested in ourselves .

It cost me 4g to prepare for travel / fixing a huge ambulance type dodge van 3500 High top with all of our tent / camp stuff - clothes - tools of the trades .

I was in a trailer within 10 days from a RV park and a 10 man tent .

Site unseen -I drove to Jacksonville NC for a base job which was abandoned by the Company who hired me literally the day I arrived for Gov. Drama . and change orders unpaid .

So , here we were -no family . Less than $ 5,000.00 in cash . # kids under 11 years old . In a tent site at an RV park off NC route 17 South .

9 years later i'm living in a 5 bedroom mansion < leasing it > We have been here almost 4 years in this home , in an HOA with a Pool house and private boat launch . Very secure and surrounded by heavily armed active duty USMC folk .

Kids avoided being turned into Wiggers and got educated pretty decently until covid came . We now home school 2 kids .

We rarely hear sirens . Life is quiet and good . LOTS OF GUNS ALL OVER THE REGION and freedom loving patriots everywhere .


I knew all this was coming to NYS 10 years ago and look at NYS now . Literally hell on Earth . BLM/ Antifa - Bail reform - early release - 2nd chance programs forviolent murderers and NO GUNS for NYS citizens . We're bad .



Now all our FAMILY is brain washed - Shot loving stooges - Biden boot licking possessed Demons .

The smart conservative ones are stranded there .


NO FUCKS GIVEN !


GOD BLESS NORTH CAROLINA ! Yea it's a DEM state currently - was red when we got here .

It will be red again = Folks here are insanely PISSED off - esspecially Military !
