[quote=earlyretirement][quote=bearishgurl]ER, your assumptions about me are incorrect but I do like reading your posts 🙂 However, I will pm you so as not to hijack this thread any further.[/quote]
Sorry BG. Thanks for the PM. I’ll take a look at it tonight and respond via PM. Also, I didn’t want to give the wrong idea about people commuting. I’m NOT trying to justify it at all and it’s not even like I mean it’s normal or there are a lot of people doing it.
I just mentioned it to give an idea how bad the job market is here for some. I only know 3 people doing it so I didn’t want to give anyone the wrong idea about that or that I justify it at all. I mentioned the few people I know doing it because I wanted it to indicate how tough of a time they are finding a job here in SD.
BG I also enjoy your posts.[/quote]
I agree the job market AND pay in SD County isn’t what it is in other CA coastal counties. My kid(s) will attest to that. My last kid (in HS) is currently eager to leave SD for college and greener pastures elsewhere.
I very well might be right behind them.
I say more power to them. And stay successful so their parents can go away to “retire.”
This “independence” makes it easier for a tired parent like me to make a choice to sell or rent the homestead and do what I want to, for a change 🙂
