You shouldn’t regret what you did, it’s just lessons learn, things happen for a reason, just learn from it and move on, things will get better soon… pray & ask God for guidance 🙏❤️

Moving out of CA takes a lot of work but also harder to get back. It’s not for everyone but I truly love CA especially the southern part due to weather. It’s really what you’re paying for because you cannot find anything like it.

We moved out of California in 2022 . Sold the house with furniture. Bought a hauling trailer for $1, 400 squeezed in the essentials, hauled it to Texas than sold it when we got here 😂

Moving out of California can be shocking at first but anywhere else is way better to raise a family. California is not going anywhere you can always go back and visit !

Ive moved across country multiple times and its way way way cheaper to just sell all your stuff and not spend all that money moving everything. You don't have to deal with moving it all and in the end you replace everything with new and it'll cost less. Don't get attached to stuff.

I used to live in California and we move after 2years. There’s a lot of competition to get a job. We analyzed our expenses, the taxes, the cost of Gas, cost of owning a house or renting a house in short the cost of living is too high. So I decided to apply for a job on the east coast specifically in Virginia Beach. The cost of living is definitely lower than California. I have no regrets moving in Virginia. Weather is almost the same in California and also lots of Filipinos because of the Military bases.

You will get back on your feet. The husband has the right skills and wife is very supportive.

Bad thing about moving out of California is that no place has the weather ca has. Prices are only going up & once you sell it’s hard to get back in.

Ive heard families now say they regretted leaving CA. 2 of the 3 moved back with in a couple years. Native Cali girl here.

So I moved my sister from fountain valley Cali to houston. Rented Penske truck in Tucson az, drove it to fountain valley, loaded, returned to Tucson, put my car on Penske car trailer & headed to Houston. About $6000 cheaper than renting truck in Cali. Like everything in life, planning pays! It’s pure stupidity to rent a truck in cali!

I worked as a contractor and worked in most states. While working in other states, I continued to keep my California home and eventually paid the house off... No way i woukd sell my California home because it was cheap when i bought it but now, the house is worth more than a million. Im staying in cali.

You both will do VERY well:) Youth is on your side and wisdom!

I felt similar moving from a lifetime in San Francisco to Central California where the cost of living is way way cheaper than anything. I've ever experienced sad and regret it but now I can travel way more. Hopefully you guys can do the same.

Grew up in Hollywood California I left california 4 yrs ago Best decision ever! Bought me 10 acres out in the country illinois sitting on a hill valleys n trees loving it! Never going back!

Thank you for sharing your experience in moving out of california to oklahoma. Nothing bad about it but, it is not for everybody. We have a house in oklahoma and my other son who is married had a house there too. Me and my wife still live here in san diego. It may be expensive but we get comfortably get by in everything we need as retired couple. There is plenty of amenities here than everywhere else so far. Geographycally and Weather wise, there is no comparison. Again, thank you for sharing your experiences and hoping for your success. Good luck.

Plus most people don’t care for your home! The way you do. We had so much damage to a rental I had rented for only 5 years. I would never do that again. I hope the best for you both!😊

Abandoned California and moved to Las Vegas. There's A large vibrant Filipino community and I think contractors are in demand. It may not be as cheap as Oklahoma but much more reasonable than the Bay area and much better than LA where we left.

Living here in Texas and we are having a good life! The best place for us financially wise. We travel everywhere

I'm retired and living alone in Cali . But your blog brings back many memories of moving state to state because of work. I know the biggest hassle is always making the decision regarding mortgage, housing & furniture. Just focus on balancing housing & cost of living, Always sell or give away furniture & put the money in the bank.
But take heart, your skill will always provide job opportunities . God bless!

Well it's too late now. But didn't you guys ever think of using property management to manage your house,
if you would have kept it and rented it out?
