Does anyone know what the cost of living is on the west coast i live in ct and for the longest time i have wanted to move to califorina. I dont have much saved up so any info would help thanks

It is very expensive to live out here. Send me an email with any questions, Eric.

i know right now acording to my older sister friend that lives in cal the gas is about $7 gallon about the same for min wage.. thats nuts. i do have family in cal so i guess i could ask or you can look in the newspaper on line

Move here to Kansas, well at least Goodland, the cost of living is inexpensive, so cheap in fact people dont believe me when i tell them HOW cheap!!!


Not California but hey...we have the biggest ball of twine !!!! LOL

ok so how cheap is it there as in rent wise

I agree with Missy; the Midwest is a great place and the cost of living is good.

Take it from someone who lives in the Los Angeles area- you're better off staying in CT.

Prices for practically everything 25% more expensive out here. This goes especially for the necessities like food and gas, too. In fact, fuel prices in my immediate area are still rather out-of-control ($4.35/gallon) DESPITE all this talk about global oil prices going down and whatnot.

I saw an article in one of the newspapers that said that it would take a minimum annual salary of $60,000-a-year to be able to live acceptably in Los Angeles. Seeing how insane prices for stuff are out here, I wouldn't be surprised.

The WORST part about living in Los Angeles is that there are next to no jobs here that will justify that "acceptable" annual salary. Jobs that used to pay a relatively decent amount (construction, welding, etc.) are now essentially minimum-wage jobs out here unless you're the foreman or other higher-up. You simply will not be allowed the chance to earn a decent living here, period.

I hate it so much out here that I've been trying to get out for at least the last couple of years. But since it costs money to move (and I don't have enough of it), I've been reduced to having to stay.

If you've ever heard the Eagles' tune "Hotel California", you'll know what they were talking about... especially the lyric "you can never leave".

I'm a landlord and love you renters.

Depends on what youre looking for...2 bedrooms from as low as 200 a month 3 and 4 bedrooms from 250 to 400 a month...

Thanks hun..It is a great place to live..I love it here..the people are great, no crime low cost, no crime lol

Where? I just paid 3.91

WOW $200 a month for a TWO bedroom? I pay $234 here and I thought that was cheap.

Buy hey Eric, just move into one of Marcs places maybe he will give you a great deal.

Cheap cheap here...lol sound like a lil bird..

that is unbelieveable.

haha well thanks guys for all ur info

The Mid West is cheap, but there are reasons. I am in Wisconsin, there are no decent jobs,thankfully the cost of housing reflects this. The winters are brutal. The local social scene consists of trashy bars or the Catholic church. I am miserable here, but can't afford to leave. I am grateful to have a job & a decent place to live, I am able to make it work financially, but I am not happy about being here.

Well i dont think that all of the midwest should be covered in that statement Im manager of a local here THE local bar here and I dont think its trashy at all...Its very laid back...there are decent jobs to be found here ....

I specified Wisconsin & local.

Once again, I agree. Unemployment is low, there is a lot to do in Tulsa, temperatures are not extreme either way (usually)... just a little "tornado dodging" in the spring.

lol TRUE
