Place to put my Nonsense Thread.

You have google. I also have friends that live in the ‘burbs.

Is Louisville the worst place you lived? Tampa would be mine. Even over Memphis. Columbus w/ it's gray skies and long winters was better than both.
I lived in Bowling green my first semester of undergrad, and wasn’t too stoked on it.

If we're doing small towns, I live in Yosemite, Casey Co. my senior year in HS. That was by far the worst place I lived. I really felt like I went back in time from moving from Campbellsville. Danville, Lex, Columbus from there.

I do love Louisville, as I’m from there…but wouldn’t necessarily want to move back. Maybe in retirement.

My oldest friend is an engineer at a dam in Augusta. I met him in Casey Co. Dude is wild as shit, and there's no way he'd move back. We talk about. I will move back when I retire. Until then, I've followed the money.

I put up with a lot of shit for money. I have fun and it is fun, but I do miss home.

Always follow the money/opportunity for upward mobility (increased salary). I’m right there with ya.

None of my 5 years plans included the next city. I'm coming up on living in Memphis longer than anywhere else.

Hate the city. Everything about it(tourism gets old, food is still good). Stay for the money.

Also, I live like a huge poor. I barely spend anything outside of bills and food.

That’s not how it works. What it means is 50% of the households in West Loop make under $120,000. 50% of the households West Loop make over $120,000.

So we’d be able to live in West Loop comfortably.
In a 900 sq foot apartment in Greektown. That’s totally fine, but not what I’m talking about. Great area, meager living amenities.

Memphis food is amazing. BBQ is my favorite hands down. Suck if KC. I live like a poor too. I keep on saving and saving.

Music scene and food are my hobbies. Been getting in to some live plays and stuff. There's a lot of free stuff around town.

Always thought of it as NO lite. A lot of stuff to do in Memphis.
There is for the first few years. Memphis in May has concerts, world championship bbq, and BBQ Wrestling on Beale which is always a fun time. Looking forward to it being back this year.
 
FTR I own a nice condo in Chi town proper, and it was less than half of what my house sold for in the Bay Area. I drive an 11 year old vdub GTI that’s still got another 10 years in it, and I rarely spend money on frivolous things. It’s all about present/future priorities.
 
On average how much do you all spend online a month? Amazon, Walmart, Google shopping etc.

I'm probably around 100-200.
It depends. Amazon what have you’s and Whole Foods…probably about 350-500 a month. I did just buy a new tv for the living room which was kinda pricey even with the Black Friday discount.

I immediately regrated asking so I deleted.

My question was how much ppl spend online shopping a month. I'm about 200, but I pick my own groceries.
 
I’m seeing 2 bedroom 1200ft condos in West Loop all around $3,000 a month. That’s about where we are at 25% income which is conservative from the 30% rule leaving me 5% to waste on DraftKings.

That’s without what I would assume would be a 5-10%ish pay increase going from Milwaukee suburbs to downtown Chicago hospitals.


Regardless that sounds miserable. Imagining the suburb houses I could score for a mortgage payment that high sounds wayyyy better than renting a damn downtown condo.
Because we have different lifestyles and likings? You’re not making much sense. What you just said sounds miserable to me.

Ppl here seem reasonable. I'm sure they wouldn't think of ppl different if they saw everyone's taxes.

Some big takers might not net shit. Some quite mofo's could be doing ok.

It's probably best to judge where they live. Be a part of an environment of success.
