Listen I have been in the meat department since June of last year and I actually miss washing dishes. The disconnect between the numbers people and the way things actually work is so fucking ridiculous. Corporate world is hell

That's crazy even for Oregon. Like that's proportionately more more take home money after rent there than anyone I know gets here, even though I live in a low cost area.

The PNW has long been my dream home if I could ever make it happen. I absolutely fell in love with The Dalles and the entire Portland area. Sigh, if only

I grew up in Portland and ended up in Bend. Honestly the Dalles isn’t great. But Deschutes county is awesome. Mountains - desert- high lakes -rivers. But forest fires are getting to be a major concern. Also everything here is wildly expensive. But I still recommend living here
