We pay the most for gas and the state is broke! We have to release 40,000 prisoners in the next 2 years because we don't have room. A high percentage of the prisoners are illegal aliens (my DH works for the Sheriffs dept). We have a lot of homeless people because of the nice weather.
It is so expensive here that you can't afford to retire here! So, we will be moving to another state in a couple of years.
Sorry this is so long! Think twice about where you move to. Good luck! Donna |
It sounds great. I would prob. be going temporarily tho unless something great happened and i find a great job lol but it would prob. just be for a couple of months just to see how i like it, you know. I know i'll love the weather that's for sure. lol
