Would you recommend moving to South Carolina right now?
I'm (25m) currently living in CT and have been my whole life and my roommate is not renewing our lease in October, my other friend offered for me to move down to Aiken/Augusta area and rent his guest house for $600/month. Here I'm paying $1200/month so that's a huge money saver but Im also making around $16/hour now and would probably make a bit less for a similar job down there. The cost of living is WAY better in SC (according to Google) than CT also. l'm single, no kids, cat and dog, I don't drive and I smoke weed daily but I can quit no problem if it's too hard to get down there. As for politics I wouldn't call myself a liberal and I'm not a Democrat but I absolutely am NOT conservative. My main goal I think is to just save money and leave the country in the next 5-ish years so I'm not too worried about settling down or anything. I'm just not sure if SC will be a good place for me and obviously I have no idea what it's really like down there outside of statistics so I'm curious what anyone has to say about what it's like and how you think it will be over the next few years that I might be there.
