This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You'd be right back in the same boat. You might make more, but now you live where the cost of living is way higher, too.
California has the second highest minimum wage in the cou try at $16.90/hour, and it's still not enough to live off of in California.
your quality of life will be much higher. in high wage states you get way more for your dollar in terms of opportunities and services.
in CA op wouldn't need a car, would have way more opportunity/choice for jobs, and probably could take classes at a community college to improve their life.
Maybe if they choose to live in LA or the bay area. You definitely need one in the central valley, foothills or Sierras.
You would not be back in the same boat. Your life will improve. Make the move.
