Detroit has some really cool looking old houses! But I'd need you to tell me where to live so I don't die. (Only half joking 😉)

I don't know if you've ever mentioned it but did your grow up in Seattle? Do you have a dream location? For the most part. I was born in San Jose, CA and we moved to Seattle when I was 11 years old. I would definitely want to be in or near a large city. We both enjoy sports and going to concerts and whatnot, so a city with all of those things available would be ideal. I'd mostly like to be able to survive on a household income that is less than 6 figures.

hangry, I'm comparing my last job to this one, so it might different at other places. But here I get 2 weeks of vacation time, 2 floating holidays and 2 weeks of sick time. I (thankfully) never really use my sick time, so I feel like I'm missing out on available time off but I can't bring myself to use sick time if I'm not actually sick (plus, we're kind of discouraged from using all of our sick time). With PTO, it was all together, so I felt like I had more time off available to me, if that makes sense. We were also able to roll our PTO over into the following year, and at this job both vacation and sick time is use or lose it. Ahh, I see the difference. I've always had PTO so I guess I didn't realize that you kinda get less time off the other way. Carry on!

You were just saying how a lot of us on this BMB live on the east coast... so... MH has always said never the east coast because sports. I kind of get it because he's a huge sports fan and there's times when a game is still going and it's 10pm our time. But that's a dumb reason, IMO. He will actually learn to love this. Esp when he realizes that it means kids are in bed and he can enjoy it in solitude or with buddies and not have to parent. MH lives for late games when I'm sleeping and he gets to sit his Fatman ass on the couch with a beer and his phone and do nothing but enjoy a game.

Also jubilantsquirrel I come across a ton of seahawk fans around here just sayin. We need to vote for where JS should fake move. I vote Fairfield County. You have sports, beaches, schools are wonderful, it's VERY commutable to NYC. Four seasons, yes please ✋🏼✋🏼 Also, an amazing casino to spend all your dollars at. Edit AHEM an amazing TWO casinos

With football, prime time games start at 5/5:30 our time, which means I'm trying to get the kids fed and usually to bed during the game. If they don't start until 8/8:30, then dinner is done and cleaned and kids are already in bed. Andplusalso, you east coasters don't have to worry about shows be spoiled before they even air on your side of the country.

I was once looking at houses in Richmond, VA and was pleasantly surprised to come across an entire room decked out in Seahawks stuff. If I were looking to relocate there I probably would have bought that house just because a Seahawk fan lived there. Ok, well all that sounds amazing. Plus I've always wanted to see a New England fall.

Ummm kleigh, isn't Fairfield county one of the most expensive ones? jubilantsquirrel I just had a friend move from Seattle-ish to Denver. Now that seems like a great trade. Still cool weather, great scenery, sports teams, and I have no idea but would guess cheaper.

I mean, I saw the houses JS shared from Redfin - those are at least as expensive as here, if not more. Also, she could just live in the poor parts like me 👍🏼 I have wine JS.

You know, I've really thought about Denver before. I'll have to check them out.

If I could find a house in the poor parts of Fairfield county then I'm game! Ideally, I'd like to not spend more than 300k on a house, which l-o-fucking-l to that out here. Unless I move to Tacoma, and no thank you to living in Tacoma.

jubilantsquirrel I just built my house for less than $300k. And we are in a stellar school district and close to one of the cleanest lakes around. It's wine country up here and we have beautiful falls. NYC and Boston are only about 5ish hours away. Perfect for a long weekend. We have good concert venues. Not anything great for sports (unless you are a buffalo or Syracuse fan) but they make for fun road trips. Oh and there's me. You can SAH with me and we can day drink while our kids play.

I'm just going to buy houses all over the country so I can drink with all you N16ers. But in all seriousness. You built a brand new house for less than 300k?! Shit, man. The house behind us is for sale, it's 3bed 2bath 1,100sqft, built in 1998 and it's listed for $350k.

Are you upstate NY or western NY? I'm realizing I know nothing about NY except it's home to NYC and the capitol is Albany (and I'm not even 100% on that second part).
