Need to have a real cost of living thread sometime to wise me up lol. I never get over being shocked by home prices near metro areas. I wouldn't like to commute two hours a day, nor would I like to pay 3X what my house payment used to be for to rent an apartment large enough to raise a family.
Businesses are going to struggle to get their workers back in the office as long as their competitors continue to allow it post Covid. Employees are saving a fortune while getting paid the big city wage. At least until a recession comes and then they will have the hammer. I get it you can efficiently call on clients you are trying to sell to five states away, but I won't be easily convinced it works well for team projects.
My special skill is spinning a thread in a new direction. Forgive me for that but this is the only place I have adult conversations with a dozen financially prudent people.
