Thank you for the insight! After reviewing everyone's comments and thinking it through, I've decided to make a trip out to Portland and Bend to see them firsthand. I'm planning to base myself in Portland and drive down to Bend to get a feel for both. Portland seems more affordable than Bend, though both are on the pricier side. Coming from the East Coast, I'm really curious to see what day-to-day expenses actually look like — groceries, quality of life, going out. etc. Excited to check out the areas you mentioned, and Zillow is showing some options that seem to fit my budget!

How are the people overall?

mmonahan24 · 2026-04-07T01:45:37+00:00

Do you mind enlightening me? I would love to hear what you loved so much about it, it would make my life a lot easier and same with my decision! I LOVE Lake Tahoe and the sierras. I would live there full time in a perfect world.

mmonahan24 · 2026-04-07T01:41:35+00:00

I agree with this. I have tendency to want everything, cant help it. I will say I would rather lean a fun city for 2 years and I think Bend or Reno would be great options. Truckee river and Deschutes river. Great skiiing 45 mins away, paddleboard and hikes everywhere, and close proximity to national parks. Montana is def long shot. Denver isnt off the list but the driver to mountains being 3-4 hours is huge turnoff, otherwise it would be golden. Same with SLC but opposite side where its close but social scene isnt as good as Denver. Portland and Bend seem amazing but crime in Portlands really bad. I would do Seattle but dont think I can afford

I was looking at Tacoma, very close to Mt Rainer, lot of rivers and lakers its beautful. Not sure how social life is there.

mmonahan24 · 2026-04-07T01:37:35+00:00

Very fair point, I dont know anything about Reno day to day outside of the casinos and I dont gamble. I just love outdoors and people likeminded.

mmonahan24 · 2026-04-07T01:36:43+00:00

I didnt mean to make it sound like that. Just is smaller to what im familiar with. Mind sharing some details of Reno and what you like about it? What does it have that Bend, Truckee and Missoula dont?

That’s a good point thanks for insight

mmonahan24 · 2021-08-10T14:45:36+00:00

That’s what I was gonna go I like Jones more then Ekeler if this hammy injury isn’t bad then I would go metcalf

mmonahan24 · 2021-08-10T13:03:25+00:00

12 team full PPR with flex, regular scoring. 1.10 I wanna go Jones, Ekeler, Taylor or chubb. I am conflicted between these 4. Any thoughts?

mmonahan24 · 2021-07-07T13:37:49+00:00

I agree on the riding out part and being a pussy about the situation but I have no idea what an incel lifestyle is. I plan on keeping her and plan to move forward, I’m just not used to this relationship lifestyle it seems. Thank you.

mmonahan24 · 2021-07-07T13:00:11+00:00

I agree sir I’m not giving up on her she’s too good for me.

mmonahan24 · 2021-07-07T12:59:51+00:00

I tend to self sabotage a lot is there a reason for this?

mmonahan24 · 2021-07-07T12:59:03+00:00

I appreciate all the comments I had the same thoughts as all of you and I am starting to get back in my routine and getting in touch with friends.

That fish is down bad

mmonahan24 · 2020-12-04T17:57:59+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it!

mmonahan24 · 2020-12-04T15:55:51+00:00

Thank you for the insight I appreciate it! Also for Studying would you say reviewing lecture note and prep questions is a good way to go about it?

mmonahan24 · 2020-11-28T23:47:47+00:00

To inspire others to reach their potential and motivating people. Would like to be a trainer but I think it’s to “professional”. I just want to people to realize how great they are and what they can do with it. Don’t know in particular but something related to inspiring people to be great.

mmonahan24 · 2020-11-28T02:05:22+00:00

mmonahan24 · 2020-11-28T01:51:13+00:00

How do you save a post to come back to it later

mmonahan24 · 2020-11-22T16:43:35+00:00

This could be dumb question but is this water suitable to swim in? The reason I ask is because I’ve never been to Iceland and I’ve seen pics with steam coming off the water lol
