I'm probably ending the end of my shoulder injury soon and have some savings but not as much as I'd like.
I need to find a place that you can get a place and job that actually pays the cost of living in the area.
The problem im running into is the fact that im going to have a weight limit when this injury is over and won't be able to lift more than 25lbs with one arm so it is going to limit me in the field I've been in for a decade. Its so dam expensive to live in California these days as a renter im seeing this as a reason I probably have to migrate somewhere.
So I figure you have all been to many places (so have i, but behind the wheel of a semi truck).
Is there anywhere in this country where the cost of living isn't out of control and there's actual work?
I got my place cheap in the foothills but there really isn't any work nearby even for a veteran. They talk alot of talk about getting veterans jobs but thats like home depot kinda stuff which im not knocking it but your not gonna afford to live in norcal working for minimum wage. It just isnt possible.
So I figure id ask people for advice. Do you know any reasonable places? I want to stay in norcal but the cost of living is just ridiculous. My 20 year old car and 20 year old truck are just too dam expensive to register in this state. Its all taxes and 1400/month for a one bedroom. I dont understand how people afford it.
