You have to think about summers here. Summers are hotter than a (wait, this

of. Buckeye (west of Phoenix and west of Litchfield Park where I live) is
Okie-esque.
What the others have said about the greener grass should be considered.

Day to day life here has nothing to do with Disney World, or any of 
the "attractions" for that matter.  Or going to the beach.  People 
who envision some sort of Utopian lifestyle because we live near the 
ocean or the Mouse are experiencing an altered reality that just 
doesn't exist.  My days here are little different from what they 
were anywhere else I've lived.  I have to go to work, take care of 
family and household matter, deal with the daily issues of life we 
all do no matter where we live.  it has nothing to do with the beach 
or going to Busch Gardens, nor is that an option.


Dan


Yup

No mouse, no busch.When people hear we lived in Hawaii, they have 
visions of "Robin's" Estate in Magnum.  Tain't so.  Reality is houses 
stacked nearly touching, an Ohana house in the backyard, either for 
family members or to help make the payment on the house or both. 
Keeds play in da street, or at the schoolyard.  No room at da house. 
When we moved there, the avg income per working person was 10k/year, 
and the average   household income was 35k/year.  That means 3-4 
working adults per household.  My first job (60-80 hrs/week) paid the 
rent in a less than fancy house.  We had no furniture except a table 
and some chairs.  The second job bought the food. (16-20 hrs/week) 
The third job paid for school stuff and clothes for the kids.   One 
guy on welfare with section 8 housing made the equivalent of 40k/yr 
for sitting on their okole.  (look it up, the urban dictionary 
definition is cleaned up)


I've never been to Pearl Harbor, except one trip to the Hickam O club 
with MBCA.  Never had a shave ice at Haleiwa.  Never watched the 
surfas on big waves.  We did go to Haunama Bay once, but no 
snorkeling  (too expensive to buy or rent)  We did take the kids to 
Waikiki once in a while because it was pretty easy to get to on DaBus 
and it was fun to watch the tourists.  On those days, we took lunch. 
Restaurants were out of the question.  We did hike Diamond Head 2-3 
times.  We took Chocolate Chip cookie bars and guava juice and maybe 
lunch.  But the CC Bars are tied to standing on top of Diamond Head. 
Those memories will last forever.

I have made world wide moves.  You come out poorer most of the time.  The only 
upside is to lifestyle because you REALLY wanted to be there.  The geography, 
the people, the boon to your career or dreams.   

Dan left much behind with each move.   If you can keep some of what you had 
(home/property-rent it out) then start over in your new location, there is some 
flex.  Moving your belongings tends to lead to broken stuff.  Sometimes it pays 
to just find new things after the move.  Not sure what you would do with your 
car collection.  Maybe  Regina stays behind and oldest male child can part out 
cars for you.

If you do move, find a place that suits you best.  Not all towns are the same.  
Some just suck, some feel like home.

2015-11-16 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
No matter how good the deal, you always lose in a relocation.  I don’t say that 
to be negative or discourage anyone from doing so; rather, to make them 
understand that the costs related to moving and setting up household in a new 
location will always cost you more than the basic expense f relocation itself.

If you plan well and do some good record keeping, the tax benefits can offset 
some of that expense, but not all.

What the motivation is is what really counts here.  For example, I have 
relocated four times.  Each time the reasons were different.

1.) Indianapolis to Wisconsin (Kohler).  Bare minimum expenses were covered, 
the better part was out of pocket.  Our motivation was career-oriented, so we 
knew that if we made the move in the long term it would pay off.  It did.  We 
both built our careers and incomes substantially by making this move.

2.) Wisconsin to Florida.  All expenses covered, professional movers/packers, 
etc.  Nicest, easiest move I ever made.  Motivation was to slow down career, 
spend more time with family, stop traveling.  Achieved all of that and more.

3.) Florida back to Indianapolis.  Major expenses covered, but we had to do all 
the work. Brutal, time consuming, took over our lives for several weeks.  
Motivation was career oriented for both of us.  Economy tanked two months after 
we arrived, as did everything else.  Ouch.

4.) Indianapolis back to Florida. Completely out of pocket, finally putting 
much of that debt to rest these days, thank goodness.  Done in stages so it 
wasn’t a major hassle, but still damned unpleasant and costly.  Motivation?  
Get the hell out of the North and back to Florida.  Mission accomplished.

I guess my point is that there are a lot of reasons why you might relocate, but 
don’t do it on a whim or because the position pays more.  Salary increases make 
little difference on your living style, and are often incremental in reality if 
you’re moving to a more expensive location.  A change of scenery or a true 
desire to live in another part of the country is a good reason, but again, 
you’re not doing this for personal gain - because you won’t.  And if this is 
your reason, for gosh sakes, please, please do your due diligence and carefully 
scout out the location and environs.  Spend a lot of time researching things, 
and spend as much time as you possibly can in the area and talking to people 
who actually live there to understand what it’s like.  I say this because you 
can’t imagine how many people who visit Florida will say that they want to move 
here after a week at Disney World.

Day to day life here has nothing to do with Disney World, or any of the 
“attractions” for that matter.  Or going to the beach.  People who envision 
some sort of Utopian lifestyle because we live near the ocean or the Mouse are 
experiencing an altered reality that just doesn’t exist.  My days here are 
little different from what they were anywhere else I've lived.  I have to go to 
work, take care of family and household matter, deal with the daily issues of

 Understand that you’re talking about some pretty serious travel if you’re 
 covering an area like that.
 
 As for cost of living, if you’re remotely close to a metropolitan area in 
 Washington, Oregon, Colorado, or California, your cost of living is going 
 to be significantly higher.  I’ll bet the job compensation doesn’t reflect 
 that?
 
 Eastern or southern Colorado would be nice and probably just as affordable

 how that compares to where you are now.  Mao and Craig have lived in those 
 parts, but I don’t think it’s recent for either one, so their information 
 might be a bit dated.
 
 How’s about Albuquerque, NM?  Good location, probably a decent cost of

 If you’re going to be covering an area of that size you would just about

You know that is exactly why I posted this here because I was sure others in 
this list have relocated for work before. The VP of our company got fired a 
while back and my boss was one that applied for it. Turns out the west coast 
regional got moved up. If my boss would have got it then I would have been 
going after his job. I will put it this way, last year a rep job with carfax 
was open which never happens. I interviewed for it but they ended up going with 
a friend of mine who was an internal candidate. I would have moved from my 
management job to a much less stressful rep job at carfax for much larger base 
but lower bonus portion. It thing that move would have netted about 10k more 
per year. So just from talking to my boss the base for a regional manager job 
with our company would come in a little less than the rep job at carfax. Not 
sure what the bonus is but that is where I'm getting the idea it's not worth it

Oooh!  I forgot about Reno, my very favorite Western city, and my jumping off 
spot for visits to Yosemite.

Virginia City is really cool, too, but it’s not someplace you would want to 
live, I think.  Maybe Bridgeport CA.

 High today 57.  Locals have on the goose down jacket.
 
 My cousin lives in Montrose CO and loves it there.  The couple times I've 
 been through Grand Junction, CO, it seems nice.   CO is invested by the 
 fruits and nuts from CA, as is Seattle.  Seattle used to be nice before 
 the invasions of fruits and nuts and their nutso ways.
 
 Passing through, i liked Billings, MT   NO problem there with packin. WY 
 has been invaded by fruits and nuts too, especially around the hole.
 
 From a couple hours, I liked Gallup NM.  If you like the feel of a western 
 town, Gallup is IT!
 
 Nuthin grows in Phoenix, but then out where you are now, not much grows, 
 so mebbe you'll like the traffic and smog where nuttin grows.

The grass is always greener, but in reality, it rarely is.  Stay put, enjoy 
your stuff and family, and when the next notch up the ladder presents itself in 
your neighborhood, go for it.

I can assure you that in relocations like this, no matter how good they sound, 
how much of the costs the company covers, or how much more money you make, you 
ALWAYS lose.  Sometimes more than others, but you always come out a little less 
when the dust settles.

Take it from someone who has done it more than once.

entire region. I agree not sure I would be happy getting rid of all my crap. It

Boise is nice if you don’t mind winter.  It’s surprisingly mild, much like 
Denver can be, due to the location.  I would absolutely go to Boise if I had to 
move north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

You’ll have to put up with a lot of Mormons, though.  It’s sort of a second

Grand Junction?  Are you nuts?  He doesn’t want a nine month ski vacation.  
Tell him what the temperatures were two-three months ago in your neighborhood.

Portland is nice, but lots of clouds and the granola folks.  Eastern Oregon is 
pretty sparse but nice, as is eastern Washington state.

Understand that you’re talking about some pretty serious travel if you’re 
covering an area like that.

As for cost of living, if you’re remotely close to a metropolitan area in 
Washington, Oregon, Colorado, or California, your cost of living is going to be 
significantly higher.  I’ll bet the job compensation doesn’t reflect that?

Eastern or southern Colorado would be nice and probably just as affordable as 
where you are now.  However, it’s pretty damned rural, but I’m not sure how 
that compares to where you are now.  Mao and Craig have lived in those parts, 
but I don’t think it’s recent for either one, so their information might be a 
bit dated.

How’s about Albuquerque, NM?  Good location, probably a decent cost of living.

If you’re going to be covering an area of that size you would just about have 
to live near a major airport I would expect.

Phoenix may suck in the summer with 115F heat... but try shoveling sunshine
all winter just once and you will change your tune.

I have seen temps here inside a closed car  [measured] of 180+ at high
summer season. Plan accordingly. At the Ranch I've measured ground temps
[mid summer] of 190F+.

On the plus side... rust is unknown [well, nearly unknown]. Humidity is
often below 12%.

If you are tough enough to live here in summer, welcome to Arizona.. but
bring your own 4X4 truck with air conditioning... your Prius won't cut it
outside the city..

Re: [MBZ] Phoenix

2008-11-30 Thread Wonko the Sane
I was probably stupid enough 35 years ago (that would have put me at age 21)
to tackle the quad, and eat it just to prove that I could.

By the way, I am not vegan. Vegans can be a bit strange and radical --
especially the ones who refuse to wear leather shoes because the leather
came from an oppressed animal. I go to work each day in blue Converse
sneakers by choice (and a touch of rebellion) and not due to anything
related to vegan pseudo-morality. My watchband and my belt and my wallet are
leather.

I am one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism

I have zero desire for a steak ... but don't get between me and a pound of
shrimp or some smoked salmon, or you just might get run over. Shrimp fajitas
and I are almost on a first name basis.

Unfortunately, no. If you're not going during rush hour, it's probably

That would be me! The current game plan is to show up the evening of the 
28th and leave on the 3rd (Dad's flight leaves at 6AM... ugh!).  I'd 
like to finally meet up with you since you always seem to have other 
obligations.  Last time you passed up the meeting for a root canal! I 
mean, come on! ;)

If anyone along I-40 or I-10 wants to meet up I'd like to.  I'm not sure 
which interstate I'll be taking yet.  Probably I-10 there and I-40 back 
(leaving from my parent's house on the coast).

I may swing up there on the way back.  Last trip back we ended up 
staying nearly due south of you.  Greg needs to see you're backyard so 
don't sell all of them by then.  We'll have some fun in the CDI too.


You free the night of Jan 3rd and the next morning?
