I’m a Maine country boy and I got stuck in CA because I met a girl going to college in CA. I’m now 50 and just a couple years ago managed to get out of SoCal and move to a little ranch in the Central Valley. It’s still Ca but I have acres to breathe on and a big barn. It took me 30 years of living in hell in Orange County. Kept my SoCal job as I can’t retire yet but I’m doing the best with family here and my “good” job.
