    We were driving packed and barely moving Southern California freeways yesterday.
    My wife commented that for a state that people supposedly can’t afford to live in, why is it so darn crowded everywhere you go? Roads, shopping, restaurants, gas stations, doctor offices, beaches, sporting events ,you name it, it is packed witht the people who supposedly can’t afford to live here!
    Seems to us that people are affording to live in California just fine and with abundance.

    Retire in Sochi, Russia. It has nice weather and friendly people. Your dollar might go a long way. The Russian healthcare system is shaky, but you’ll find a nice little expat community to hang around with. There’s plenty of Vodka and red caviar to enjoy.
