St Pete, FL or Las Vegas?
I know this probably sounds odd but I’m considering either. Would love to hear from anyone living in these areas.
Tiny bit about me, currently living in DFW. Remote job, no kids nor planning on it, no debt to my name. Making a little over 4,000 a month post tax and around 20k in savings.
Heat is no issue, I absolutely love love love it. Anything under 60 is cold to me.
I’ve always loved South Fl, went to college in Sarasota but didn’t feel like I could take advantage of it fully as I was swamped with schoolwork. With my current job I have so much free time I’m not sure what to do with. I enjoy the beach, nature, and theme parks, but living in FL again still feels kind of “been there, done that” to me, and I believe it’s more expensive then where I’m currently at.
I’m considering LV due to its cheap COL (it’s actually cheaper than where I’m currently living), no income tax, and proximity to CA and national parks. It also seems to offer a lot more than my current city. Of course if I had it my way I’d move to SoCal but obviously that’s not in my budget lol. I don’t drink at all and am not a partier by any means so not sure how that factors into everything. I think I have an itch to experience living on the West Coast as well- don’t think I could do OR or WA as I love sunshine.
I think mainly what I’m looking for is somewhere you have a lot at your fingertips. I genuinely think anything would be an improvement from where I’m currently living, so I’m all ears if anyone has any other suggestions.
EDIT: Can’t reply to everyone individually but thanks so much for the advice y’all. I know these aren’t the most popular states on this sub but got some really great info, lots to think about
