Coming from Massachusetts (Boston) where it cost a fortune to live…..
How can life not be so much easier moving to a large city like Louisville Kentucky where there has to be work available. Even a warehouse labor job, anything! Homes there are a third of the price compared to here in Massachusetts. Can someone give me a good reason not to relocate? Can someone convince me that it isnt any easier to make a living in Louisville. Two people working for 10 to 12 per hour should be able to afford a home and everything else and have no worries. You cant get a home up here for less than 250,000 (fixer upper 60 to 100yrs old).
How could Kentucky possibly be struggling like we do here in Mass? Half the population up here spend their lives in small apartments. I grew up in 900sq ft apartment building. I want out, Kentucky is so cheap! Can someone convince me otherwise?
I know i’ll miss everything you mentioned but the cost of living up here is nearly impossible for me to offer my family a home with a yard. I would have never thought about leaving if i hadnt already moved to Phoenix, AZ for 6 years and ive lived in Nashville, TN for 2 years. I loved both places but there is no place like the southern country filled with great personalities. I only moved back here so my kids could have family but now im regretting the financial part. Though it is great my kids have a family that loves them. I even went to college and that isnt doing anything for me up here in Boston. What other options do i have. I’m being forced out of my home state due to the extremely high cost of living with pretty low wages. You have to make atleast 100k for an income to get by with children. Good luck, Unless your a blue collar or yuppy.
