To work?  Wherever that is nearest to my place I called home that pays me the highest bang for my buck. 

I'm so used to driving 2 hours with traffic a day to work. 

So like if I were to live in St. paul, I'll be crossing into another state to work.  Cross the croix river to Wisky and going south, you have Illinois.  For at least double the pay rate in my home town, I would.   O0

Well, I turned down a job during COVID as the move was needed but knowing that it would be mostly remote didn’t make sense for the move at the time. Also, the pay was a cut from my new job I started (I applied for both jobs at the same time but the one I had just gotten-a month n-got to me first).

So for now, I still live n the same city I grew up n.

I have however, cross state lines n commuted 30 mins for a job several yrs ago. I did that for about 2 yrs after college until my car died on me.

I’m somewhat like that but you can’t do that here especially winter.

That’s probably true to a lot of folks.

I understand what you mean. Making decisions on that at times can be hard.

You can move there anytime if that’s where you love.

Uh... why would you move to FL? Isn't that a racist Far Right, White Supremacy state - you know; Don't Say Gay, Anti-Black history, Anti-Vax state, Anti-Sex Transition for children, etc etc all the things you aren't supporting... Beside, it's way Deep Down South where you said it's so racist and full of White Supremacy there...
I don't need to copy/paste your posts here.

Didn’t happen in Florida

Leave a bad taste in my mouth

Florida is a beautiful state
