Thinking about moving to Portland.
Lets face it. California taxes up the ass and at this point with the rise of cost of living you pretty much need to clear 6 figures to live comfortably here.


Without disclosing anything too personal; I have a bachelors degree and I work a white collar job for the local government and I cant even afford to move out of my parents house. (Thats how high rent has gotten) How sad is that? I cant do this because of how much income tax bites me in the ass every paycheck. I mean i could pull it off but I would be literally scraping by each month. Im not about to pick up a second job just to stay afloat.


Gotta work to live not live to work.


I just came back from a 4 day trip up there and I LOVE the area and the friendliness of the people.


The thing I loved the most is that its pro-small business and very blue collar.


Any advice on those who live in Portland can share? What areas to look into? Hows the job market?
