![We Can't find anyone to work (for the shitty wages we want to pay!) [1142x816 - 176KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/dRskRD.png){kind=link}
Whenever someone tells me there's a labor shortage I ask them if they would be able to find anybody for $500 an hour. "Shit yeah!" they tell me. That's when I point out they don't have a labor shortage, they have a pricing problem.
OH, then Sperling's Cost of Living calculator suggests you'd need $164,000 in California.
Not entirely true. I live here on less than $100,000k and own my own house in a nice area, but you can't spend your money on stupid shit all the time, that's for sure. If you spend $1,000 a month getting Door Dash and Starbucks, and spend another $1,200 a year buying the latest iPhone, you probably ain't gonna be able to afford a house.
I know that Sperling's is a dollar-for-dollar comparison. I could live on a lot less than what I make as well, but moving to that kind of area and starting over with the proceeds of a midwestern home sale means I'm still going to be taking on a hefty mortgage.
The more prudent point is you can make the exact same wage where I am in the midwest, and I do. I can only believe that this company is looking for H1B instead of citizens.

That's what they do. They advertise shit wages and then claim there's no workers available and they need H1B workers.
Yep. I get plenty of job contacts where they ask what your visa type is. They don't want a citizen.
Nigga stop funding that state.
Well, you get the kids' grandparents and friends to move and I'll do it.
Go visit their grandparents on holidays, and kids can always make new friends. As long as you don't continuously move it wont be damaging them. Find nice houses in your new state and keep showing your parents, say they should retire somewhere nice. Plus they'll be more likely to move to you and your kids once you actually do move out.
I mean you must understand why i'm worried about you living in California?
How long ago did you buy your house?
5 years.
