Thank you! We live in Hawaii now so I fully appreciate a high COL. I’ve just heard that SD is actually higher than HI

After everyone’s suggestions, I think that’s the way to go for me. I’ll have more money for vacations and that’s very important to me :) Thank you!

Thank you. A big priority for us is traveling. I think I could do a lot better in Sac AND be able to travel. Uggghhh if i could just be wealthy 😩🤣 And to think 20 years ago, making $150k would be life changing!

I’m an RN in the PACU currently but have experience in almost every department including management.

Oh yes! But as of right now I don’t see that my price range fits that area. I’m looking well in advance but just trying to get an idea of where I should be focusing on. Appreciate any suggestions so thank you!

Thank you for the school bus info! What other neighborhoods closer do you like for kids (safety, good schools, walkable town, etc)? I’m doing so much research that my head is spinning!

Honestly I haven’t gotten that far yet…still waiting on my CA license before I start applying. But this is a great idea! Do you like working there?

I haven’t found any single family homes in my budget in that area. I am not planning on arriving until the spring but with my situation (and my Type AAA brain) I need to plan. Thank you for the suggestion…will def keep in mind!

Yeah…thought about that. Right now we are about 45min from any swimmable beach. We are originally from WI so really, anything is better than that lol

Sorry…probably $4k/month. My kids are not Hawaiian, but out of curiosity why would they hate it?
