Most Moderate Climate States/Cities

That sucks!

As you've been told. There is no perfect place to live. The closer to perfect the living conditions are, the more expensive it usually is. Otherwise everyone would live there!

I loved Sonoma County in CA. I really like it up here in southern OR too, though.

If you're going to seriously consider moving off on your own as a long-term goal, you need to start figuring out how you are going to not just survive, but thrive in your new home. Having remote jobs is nice if you can find the work, and if you live in a location where the cost of living is lower than what you make, you can put away the difference for retirement.

But you need to get hold of the other things that are holding you back first. You know what they are, and you have to master and control them first or none of this will ever be more than a dream.

Not a lecture, you get enough of those. Just a reminder that this is a later step in your independence, so you have plenty of time to prepare.

Yeah that’s true! Good point. Maybe I could save somewhere with higher paying then move somewhere cheaper.

Yeah, that’s a good point. And I think I need to aim for staying around here first like getting an apartment before I even consider going out of state or country or whatever. And I’m hoping my new team will help me with all the other stuff so I can do that.
