What's the best State to live and work in ?

Question

I live in NJ but the cost of living is very expensive, and I don't even want to talk about insurance, car insurance is ridiculous, when I pay almost 3.000 a year people down in GA are paying around 1.000 .

To buy a house in here at least 500.000 if you want to get something decent, when you can get something bigger and nicer somewhere else for about half and the salary down in GA is about the same .

Answer 1

The questions to consider:
1 - What kind of work do you do?
2 - Does the target state have those types of jobs?
3 - What kind of climate do you like? I like cooler, not cold weather & hate hot weather.
4 - If you like cooler weather, is shoveling snow a concern?
5 - Research crime rates.
6 - Is the "energy" of the area favorable?
7 - When is the best time to move?
8 - What do you like to do for recreation & does the state offer opportunities. If you like to show ski - would not want to move to Nevada.

Complex question - Understand your feeling about NJ, but in southern NJ it's not as expensive as the northern counties. But before you pick a spot out of the air, you have to check out where can you get a good job; what type of people do you want to associate with and meet; what media do read and/or watch/listen to; what churches and meeting places are around; the entertainment options; are you married/single; what climate you enjoy and many more issues. Each state has some plusses and minuses - but on balance the Northeast is more expensive but also more diverse than almost any other area with a few exceptions - some CA cities and Wash DC.

Whatever you do wind up - rent before you buy.

Answer 3

I am a Realtor in Austin, Texas. I make a lot of money, do my job very well and have friends and contacts just about everywhere. I could live almost any place and make it just fine. I think Austin is one of the most affordable, highest quality of life cities in the country. It is not like the rest of Texas; we're an island of sorts. If Texas is not your bag, then the next best choices are San Diego, Boulder, CO; Raleigh NC; and Seattle. Different climates in each of these places, some more affordable, some less. Each of these cities is vibrant, alive, happening and astonishingly beautiful. They are educated, cultured, laid back, not pretentious like Dallas or Manhattan. Opportunities abound in each of them; I can't help it, however, I love Austin, its creeks and rivers, trees, hills and most especially, its people. We are the live music capitol of the world and yet, we're still like a small town where everybody knows your name. PS. car insurance for average drivers is around 500- 1,000 bucks per year. The median price of a house is about 185,000 and unemployment is under 4%. Come see what I mean...

Answer 4

Come to Dallas. You'll make it here. How dare that realtor say Austin is "not like the rest of Texas"! What the hootie does that mean? Besides, I've known a lot of NJrs that have moved to Dallas!
