After 4 years of living in NY (which I love!) , I’m relocating to San Diego for work. Has anyone done the same transition (or the other way around)? Would love to hear your thoughts or recommendations!

Currently living in NYC and I’ll be spending the month of February in SD. Would love to hear about your experience.

If you want a slower pace of life and want the outdoors, San Diego is hard to beat. Some of the best weather in the world year round

You will love there! Different but not a bad city at all. It’s an adjustment but enjoy the beach, the mountains, the city and the Mexican food (it’s amazing down there). Pick up surfing! It’s a lot of fun!

Feeling over my head money wise. Moved to a HCOL area and bought a townhome since rent was so high as well. Mortgage is $4k including taxes. I make $200k a month. Did I make a mistake?

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.
