Saved enough dough to leave California

Where should I go? I'm tired of the people, 2 hr commute per day, and the traffic. But finally will have enough cash saved up to leave for another state.

People who have moved to cheaper states, where did you go and how should I go about doing this. Did you like the move?

Too many variables to help you decide.

Props on leaving that chit stain though. Leaving benefitted my family greatly.

depends on how much you saved and what you are going to do for work. i decided to move to north west florida when i got out of the military; i only visited and barely knew anyone. luckily, i had enough money to live off of for six months and went to school using my GI bill. i eventually found a job working for the military as a contractor, bought a house, and life was easy.

I have saved enough to buy a decent house in cash. No mortgage.

That's how I want things to be. Over here I will forever live in the barrio. And I just don't want to deal with that. However I don't want to put most of my savings in a $800K home. F that ****.

-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

300k is a good sized home in florida. 400k would be a mini-mansion

I wish more people would realize this.

Usually the people taking off have the money to take off. The ones making the money generally lean conservative. Arizona, Nevada, and Texas's coming liberal problem are a matter of demographics and lack of border control. 10 million illegals having kids that are legal voters at 18....

Been there done that OP. Drove out there to live from kentucky when i was 28. Was it worth it.? Yeah. Was fun and a good experience. I went to L.A. a town outside pasadena called arcadia.

If had to do again i would have went to san Diego

I am seriously not like everyone else here. My coworker at my last job told me she believes in the 2A but supports a semi auto ban. I found my wife who also shares the same values as me so I'm incredibly lucky.

If I was single and didn't care about having kids and wanted to die alone I would live in California. That's why I'm seriously looking to leave. I have the cash to survive outside after buying a home, so at least I won't have that problem.

Move to NH. you will get all four seasons, no income tax and if you like beer tons of micro brewerys. You can also get alot of land if you want to live further north.

Edit: I forgot if you are into guns it is one of the best states in the country
