I’m 29, not orginally from CA, been here about 3 years. Married with the first kid on the way. Double income with about 100k ready for a downpayment. Would love to fall back to one income once the kid comes. Will most likely relocate to Wash. state within a year, mostly for family reasons. The wife is originally from there. I guess for us, California was just a stop over. I think if things hadn’t gotten so out of control while we were here, we would have more strongly considered staying here. We both like it here, it just comes down to cost of living of family. If we stayed here, we’d both have to keep working, while a move to Wash will hopefully afford my wife to stop working and we’ll also have family support to help with the kid. And I’m sure that we’ll still be looking at least another year of renting there as well waiting for that marekt to bottom out.
