The Dames 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Alright, I've got a question for you guys. Considering your current living and financial situation, what would it take for you to consider moving to another state or town? Would you ever move out of state? What would keep you from making such a drastic change? Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I'm currently debating the pro's and cons of living on my own. My best friend has his own basement apartment (which he hates) and he's constantly nagging me to move out so we can get a place. Are you leaving NYC or something?

The Dames 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I'm trying to get my own place as well. My best friend Keith might be moving back upstate after being here a year without a job and living with his parents, which he hates. He wants me to go with him, but there's NO way I'll go back to Troy....unless I was getting PAID. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Well unless I kill my better half and escape before the police can catch me I'm not moving anywhere anytime soon. However, if I was living the single life I'd probably factor in the cost of living at a place before moving. Personally, I hate cities and areas that are so rural that I'm surrounded by white trash. I like being in the faceless suburbs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cerebus Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Ah tapping into a complex question for me Well, I've got a job offer down in DC but I still havn't decided whether or not to take it. My better half (who is finishing up her double major down in NYU) is guaranteed her ideal entry level job here in Hartford (thanks to good ol nepotism) but if we stay here I'm either stuck having to go to law school (in which case I earn no money for a good three years) or I have to look for another job that probably won't be as good as the one in DC...or I take the job in DC and she has to look around for a job that might not be the type she wants....

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I would move, though i'd stay somewhere in the Sydney Australia area unless i was moving for some great paying job. Of course i'd need money to move out on my own, so until i get a decent paying job moving anywhere isn't really an option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I am applying to grad school right now and will be going wherever offers the best combination of program strength and financial support package.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I live in a state with no sales tax. I can't think of any reason I'd want to leave for good. I'll just have to get rich and get a summer home somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 It took going back to college to get me to leave Chicago. Now, I don't see myself going back there ever again, as I hated it. I envision leaving The Valley anytime soon, as I have a bit of school left. After that, it'd no doubt take a high paying job to get me out of here. 2GOLD, you live in Oregon?

Guest stardust Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I'm actually planning on moving out of state in May after I graduate. After living in Virginia for my freshman year and then coming back here, I was like "I'll never leave Texas again." But then I met someone who I'm more than willing to leave Texas for, so that's definitely a big part of it. I also need the change, though, and have been thinking about moving out of state since this past summer anyway. I figure that since I'll be graduating from college, I'll be in a good place to make a move like that since I won't be officially tied down to any job as of yet (c'mon, Old Navy doesn't really count unless they decide they wanna promote me to management, which I don't see happening any time soon). Might as well get the big changes over and done with all at once. So Damian, for me, it's a matter of wanting/needing the change and being in a place where I can make those changes plus the very large factor of wanting to be with my SO.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I've already had a couple moving out-of-state experiences, and I had fun with them ...but, I was (still am) a single guy with no commitments or kids to drag around, so I could up and go when the economic conditions were right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 KKK makes a good point, Dames. To me, it would matter. Obviously if I've been with a girl for 3 weeks and am casual with the realtionship it would be different compared to if I'd been dating somebody for years that I cared deeply about.

The Dames 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I'm not saying that the length of the relationship doesn't matter. I'm saying just to factor it in to your decision. If she was your girl for 5 years, would you move, with or without her. Things like that. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Depends on how you feel about her. I moved to Sappy Valley (the most evil place in this world, and beyond) while she got her BA and then to a white-trash haven while she got her Masters. Now I can eat bon-bons while playing video games while she works for a living... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 If I didn't have school loans, i would pick up and just go somewhere since I have no kids or any real responsibilities. But seeing as my mom is about 60 now and taking care of my 2 year old nephew, I like to be close to home So I can see her and help her out with his hyperactive ass. But seeing as I haven't had steady work for almost 2 years now, I would be out of this city in a second and to California to start out trying to find legitimate work and eventually end up working in porn under the name Thunder Dick and win a bunch of AVN awards for best male perfomance in a interracial threeway. Or something. Dames, Why don't you just move to Atlanta like the rest of the fucking state of new york, then bitch about how no one can drive...despite all the drivers being from fucking New York. I think i speak for everyone here in Atlanta when I say New York and everyone from there can just fornicate themselves to death with a stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jimbo Report post Posted December 15, 2003 no, no, and more no. Fuck, I don't want to move to some new-fangled city for college (I live just outside of Washitngon D.C. and going to Georgetown would be like a dream). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mole 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 I'd move out of the house if my dad wasn't alone, I couldn' do that to him. If anything, I'd move to Mystic or Westerly in some apartment with my friends. I'd love to move to Southampton, where I go to school, but it costs WAY too much to live here. The Hamptons are just too expensive. So to answer your question Dames, yes, life needs change.

Guest Skironox Report post Posted December 16, 2003 When I lost my job and friends in Albuquerque, and realizing that the state had the highest per capita rates of poverty, alcoholism, DUI, and unemployment in the states, yeah, it was time to get the hell out of there.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 There is very little that would make me leave where I am now. At this time next year, I'll be making $75,000 a year, with four weeks vacation, three weeks sick leave, full benefits and pension, in a fantastic job. Suffice to say, I'm looking for a woman who'll be in Ottawa long-term. If she moved, I'd need to be assured of another government position to go along.

JHawk 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Given one or two factors that I don't really feel like discussing right now, I think I'd move in a heartbeat. Quite honestly, I have nothing keeping myself in Ohio at this point and a couple of reasons to move out of state, so yeah, if I had the cash right now, I'd get the fuck out of here.
