So quick background, I'm in my 20s, landed a remote job recently with a good salary. Even though I grew up in Boston, I love it here, low crime for how big of a city it is, many things to do, historical locations, walkable city, but I just cant justify the cost of living anymore. Now with remote work option, I'm seriously thinking about leaving Boston, even Mass in whole. Want to buy a house, tired of renting, but the future of cost of living in this state looks grim to me. I did one of those cost of living comparison calculators. And compared to for example FL, TX, NC the amount of money I would save is huge. Really thinking about my future since eventually I want to have a family, think about education costs, day care etc. Curious on your thoughts?
