Living in Chicago, feels like I am inside hiding from the weather July-August, January-April. Do you know people who have moved to a milder climate where they can actually be active outside and take advantage of the seasons? Where???

Moved to Denver and I love it!

Boulder is much prettier and greener than Denver. It is on the foothills of the mountains, so you are only 10-15 min away from beautiful hikes. However, Boulder is a bougie college town with rich residents. Avg 1-bedroom goes for about $2,800/mo, compared to $1,800/mo in Denver. Boulder is a small sleepy town compared to Denver, which Denver in turn is a far sleepier town with mediocre bar scene compared to Chicago. Boulder is a lot like Evanston. Both Evanston and Boulder’s residents are either college students or older families with high net worth. Neither towns are indusive to young professionals in their late 20’s or 30’s.

Not sure why you are hiding inside July and August. It’s not that hot. We have an accessible lakefront and plenty of pools.

It’s over 90 everywhere in US in July and August. Illinois is super mild unless you go live in Canada.

Except for April through September (give or take a month)?

san diego if you can’t handle the extremes but tbh it’s not bad here. maybe because I grew up here though and am used to the grind.

I was just in San Diego last weekend visiting a friend. Yes, enjoyed the mild weather and even slept outside on my friend’s porch!

I love the height of summer in the Midwest because morning and night are perfect. Lower temps, no sun beating down, and you still get that fragrant summer vibe with all of the plants in bloom. Maybe this reframing could be helpful!

July to August is the best / is that a typo?

@Creative I've been hibernating during the extreme days of summer. This past Monday was perfect though. Now we're getting another heat wave on Friday. Ugh. Why can't we get 5 days of 70s instead of 5 days of extreme heat!!

I've always heard La Jolla as the ideal temperature range. Our friends there apologized that there was a single cloud in the sky when we went. They have trust fund money though, so I'm not sure I can unreservedly recommend it cause you pay for the lazy thermometer.

So Becker was supposed to charge me $600 to update for unlimited access since my account was due to expire in March. I called them in December to make payment. Now 8months later...they reach out to me saying they only charged $35. I just checked my bank statement and they are right but i don't have $600 sitting around...What do i do? Thoughts?
