Are you saying I don't have to leave anymore? * sniff * I'm so happy!

Wakes up to reality

I used to love this state but I have really grown to hate it.

Same. I reminisce about endless citrus groves and open dirt lots on every corner. About snow capped mountains visible for miles without filthy smog obscuring them. About clean beaches and less traffic, places to enjoy the sunshine without huge crowds or crime issues. Disneyland costs an arm and a leg and it’s filthy and crowded anyway. Los Angeles was a beautiful city before homelessness became so rampant.

I need to leave, but I don’t want to. Born and raised in Southern California, going on 33 years.

I'm building a house in Idaho as we speak. Unless something major changes my goal is to be living there no later than January 2022.

Idaho is our retirement state of choice too. 7 more years for us.
