Default Re: cali or hawaii?

for me personally, it was a hard choice, but I would say california particularly san diego.

reason being, california has some of the best schools in the country.

hawaii is a joke when it comes to their educational system.

the people also are really ignorant.......a lot of them are mentally slow and behind........when I came back to california it was apparent I was around a lot of retards in hawaii.

restaurants and play time......places like los angeles, they have just about every imagination you can think of with the best restaurants along with it.

Hawaii is very limited........if you want to go someplace new you have to fly out........no other choice

while you can just drive to another state from california

also general business wise.........whenever I try to get anything expensive shipped to hawaii nobody will ship the item........I had countless problems just getting items shipped and in a way you can't enjoy buying some of the most ridiculous stuff off the internet without paying some type of outrageous cost for it to ship it to hawaii......

while in california..............that has never been a real issue.

You pre-empted me there

Many Eastern European countries are an excellent choice

Beautiful women
Mostly very safe
Very cheap
Friendly locals

The question is, is Eastern Europe ready for Jarsky?

Yeah i'm shocked how overweight people are becoming in the UK, it's an epidemic. In many Eastern European countries people tend to eat mostly at home, and are walking miles every day because they don't have the luxury of a car.

well, if you ever wanted to take classes to further your intelligence.........

also if you decided to start a family....you want your kids to go to decent schools,

what I kind of hate about Hawaii and California is that if you want a mansion that is completely secluded with lots of land and no neighbors.....it can easily runs 10s of millions of dollars.....

2, 3, 5 million dollar homes have neighbors that is like 10 feet away from your house........

whereas in places like new jersey and Pennsylvania......you can probably bargain with the owner.......cost about a million dollars......

the sad thing is that 9 times out of 10 most people have mortgages.........

the houses that are above 2-3 million only a very small percentage can even get the bank to approve the loan........and the owner I don't believe they are making any real profit.....because the demand is incredibly low.

same for the secluded mansions in pennsylvania....the demand is next to nothing.....so no profit is really made from those mansions......

the plain jane small houses go for a lot in silicon valley because that is where all the jobs are at......and also population density is really high over there......so starting a business and bringing people in is relatively easy......

Have to love to feeling of seclusion especially surrounded by lots of open land and high skies. Nothing quite like going about yourself at your own pace.

Having lived in CA (Bay Area) most of my life, I can tell you there is a heck of a lot more to consider than simply the high housing costs. Taxes are another thing, as well as dealing with crushing traffic is you are in a metro.

Take a look at Southseat Asia, specifically Thailand or Philippines. I've spent a lot of time in both places and love it. Cost of living is far lower compared HI or CA, and the people are a hell of a lot friendlier than in the states.

I also agree with Bali, having been there a couple times myself. Always lots to do, but it's being overrun with tourists in recent years, much like Bangkok.

The other thing to consider is how easy (or difficult) it is to get visas for a particular country. Tourist visas in Thailand have become a bit more difficult to get back to back even with visa runs, but it's easier in the Philippines where you can pretty much stay indefinitely without having to leave the country.

I think the OP might just want to stay in the USA. Although you can't beat the climate in those places, the high costs might not be worth it.

If I were the OP, i'd do some intl. travel and explore a bit. The world is a big place...

Total luxury? Monoco or Dubai then

No where I have ever been does luxury quite to the scale of Dubai. It’s very western but crime free and spotless with very need catered for

The downside is you won’t be able to afford something totally secluded and it is a very expansive country in certain ways (although fuel is very cheap as are cars)

Unless you plan to retire as a billionaire neither HI or CA are viable options. The cost of living in both is so high that you'd have to spend millions per year to live luxuriously in either place.

That's why I mentioned Eastern Europe. You could live with all the things Americans consider luxurious for 20% the cost. Plus the people aren't all assholes with something to shove down your throat.
