Ok.
After fretting and struggling to save money for years to get out of Texas, I finally have a workable plan.
I will be moving to Tacoma, Washington next May or June.
I'd been thinking Portland, but Washington has no state income tax (which is also true of Texas, and I didn't look forward to that additional expense). And Tacoma is slightly cheaper than Portland.
My sister lives in the Seattle area, and is buying a home on the outskirts of Tacoma, too. It'll be good to be close to her.
@tyghebright Woot! Woot! Congratulations!!!๐
@tyghebright Excellent!
Awesome! I love to see people making change happen :)
@tyghebright Thatโs great!
Congratulations ๐.
One of my best friends moved from Louisiana to Olympia, WA a few years ago and simply loves it. Tacoma is next door and her pictures make me weep with their beauty.
@tyghebright
It's a beautiful part of the country. If you have the occasion to see Dale Chihuly's glass work, I would recommend it. Also Olympic National Park is stunning.
@tyghebright Iโm so happy for you. Now all you have to do is gift Ted Cruz with unemployment before you leave. ๐
congrats!
just a side note
people are more likely
to make a successful
transition to living
in the pacificNW
if they move up here
by the spring equinox
as close as feasible anyway
absorbing the daylight
in our much longer days
between the spring to fall equinoxes
greatly helps getting thru
the much shorter days
between the fall to spring
equinoxes
cool! if you and your sis ever head out Ocean Shores way, lmk.
@tyghebright Nice! It's great to see a goal come into focus! Good luck executing your plan! ๐
@tyghebright sounds wonderful ๐๐ผ
@tyghebright We will be moving from Texas to California next Summer.
My wife's family is from Fresno CA, and we want to be close to the ocean and the mountains.
