Life of an academic?
More like the life of a poor person. Whenever our lease was up, we would look for a better deal and usually we found one.
reply
That’s good you found a better deal. Where I live it’s almost impossible. Not impossible but unlikely. Sometimes you get lucky 🍀 lol 😂
reply
There's a reason I always tried to live in places that might have better deals. I have some family in California, so you definitely have my sympathies.

I would move except for my mother. She likes the weather in California. After my dad passed, I paused my plan to move to another state
reply
My theory is California is so terrible because the weather is so good. If the weather were worse, people wouldn't put up with it and they'd leave.
reply
Very true.
Also my mother is semi retired and my dad built a nice nest egg. She is not rich but she is comfortable. She also gets social security and Medicare.
I pitched Arizona and Texas to her, her response was too hot 🥵
I am not going to force my mom to relocate even if I could.
On the other hand I know recent retirees who moved to Texas and Arizona and Florida and are extremely happy with their relocation.
These folks also follow politics. My mother does not. She is politically right but I have to tell her how to vote
reply
Arizona for the win. I might be biased. You tell her to vote Bitcoin right?
reply
I tell her but bitcoin is a blind spot for her.
My cousin lives in Glendale AZ
Where do you recommend in AZ? It's on our radar as a possible place to relocate.
