What state should I move to?

I live in NYC with husband and kids. I have no life here. We work and make dinner and sleep. There's no way we can afford to buy a house here. What kind of life is this? I thought it would get better once the kids got older but it hasn't.

@azureAcres8638 That sounds like a frustrating situation to be in. I hope you find a path forward.

I struggle with this, too. I live in California, a very expensive state. I could move closer to family who live in a less expensive state, but it's one that is getting more expensive. I've working on trying to figure out what my priority is for wherever I go next.

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling a bit. I actually live in New Jersey :) I lived in Pennsylvania for college and I think PA is a lot more affordable than NYC or NJ. That might be a nice area to consider! I hope everything works out for you <3
