[quote=paramount][quote=NeetaT]I say “good for you” if you leave CA to move to a business friendly state. I will eventually do the same thing. The Sacramento “Gravy Train” will inevitably fall just like the Roman Empire. CA is such a nice place to live with the exception of the welfare government. What a shame it is to be subject to Sacramento’s extortion.[/quote]
Very well said, my plan – rather than move – is severely reduce my expenditures. No discretionary spending at all – no eating out, no new cars or BMW’s.
Nothing. Staples only.[/quote]
paramount, you are not alone. What you describe here is actually what most homeowners in SD County do to stay afloat and still raise a family and save for college/retirement simultaneously.
The beauty of this plan is, SD is NOT Kansas City. You can feel like you’re on “vacation” in your off-hours without leaving home :=]
It is only when their house is paid off that their discretionary income level goes up, whether they are still working … or not.
