Unless You Can Deal With These 10 Facts Avoid Moving to SOUTH CAROLINA -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4CXq5hsmZhpps0

[@SCfrmJrz]

Lived in many areas of US. Positives outweigh negatives for SC. Weather is great. Beaches are beautiful. People are Southern friendly. God is available, not hidden away for one hour a week. Pace is slow. People smile and are friendly. Beaches are beautiful. Sports, especially football, are part of the culture. State universities are relatively cheap & accessible. Cost of living is cheaper. Negatives: Bugs are big. Wildlife abounds. But Critters can be mitigated by screens, exterminators & common sense. Long hot summer, but AC is everywhere. Hurricanes happen but you can prepare and leave if necessary, (unlike tornadoes & earthquakes). Conclusion: Good far outweighs bad. Love living here.

People are facing a tough retirement. and it's even harder for workers to save due to low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire in.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@FinnBraylon]

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. Sonya Lee Mitchell taught me to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. I've been with her for years now and her decades of experience in the markets translate to chunks of value in so may ways! She has upscaled my portffolio and even got me reading self help books haha

[@HildaBennet]

That's an intriguing outcome. How can I contact your Asset manager?

The problem with places hitting the best rated lists is then they become too crowded and home prices go up. I currently live in Melbourne, Florida, which has hit the best rated lists, too. It has gotten too crowded here. I wouldn't want to live in a tourist vacation spot so if I look into moving to SC in a couple of years, I'd avoid two of the places you mentioned.

@PacketBurner I moved here in 1980 and have seen so many changes. And yet wages for clerical/secretarial positions suck while housing costs have skyrocketed. I bought my house 20 years ago and it was 3 times my salary at the time. I wouldn't be able to buy it now. And my homeowners insurance has gone up 285 percent! From $700 to $2700. The only people who can afford to buy homes here are bringing their money from out of state or those with higher incomes. I'm just waiting for one of my sisters to retire and then I told her we're out of here.

SC native and city planner here. Something people have to understand about SC is that there are no large cities in SC. Columbia & Charleston are the biggest & they're about 150,000 each. If you're looking for any type of large urban life (think LA, Atlanta, Chicago), it's not here. Please understand that SC is still a largely small town and rural state by the mindset of the people here. Most of us are satisfied with that. Also understand that Greenville, Charleston, and some other cities are fantastic but super expensive compared to other parts of the state. There are several wonderful towns in the 8,000-25,000 population range that I would recommend that are much cheaper and quieter. Again, in those you won't find large, loud, urban life slower, quainter way of life. Be aware of what you're looking for and what the place is that you move to.

[@DONALD1951]

Then where do you suggest? Thanks

[@bblegacy]

Real estate in Charleston is pretty much for the "old money" not-flashy typically very-well connected (politically and otherwise) class. Save your money to visit and maybe fantasize a bit while you're there, but live much more affordably somewhere else. Those of that native blue-blooded class will whole-heartedly approve of your prudent decision making as well, and possibly even secretly admire you for it. If you don't already have a yacht, it's probably not for you. P.S. Having a yacht is not being "flashy". It's just something you should have if you live there and want to get on with your neighbors, I.E. like in Newport. I moved from Rhode Island to Greenville in the fall of 2019, so it means I moved from the Ocean State to a place where I'm functionally landlocked. I love it here though and I can see the mountains 40 miles away on the NC border from almost every window of my house. I'm only 45 miles from Asheville, 1.5 hours from Charlotte, 2.5 hours from Atlanta and 3.5 hours to Myrtle Beach. The elevation here is about 1,000 feet above sea level so it means we don't get the oppressive humidity that the mid-state low-lands (I.E. Columbia) get in the summer. We didn't get any snow AT ALL this past winter and the trees blossomed by the end of March and the spring weather now is gorgeous. This year's winter was so bad I think I had to put on my gloves outside about twice. I don't miss having only 10-12 weeks of warm / nice weather that New England calls summer. But I confess I miss all the seafood, and right now I could just about kill for a crabroll or some lobstah.

Generally, the law of economics dictates that the most affordable towns will be the least desirable towns. Suggestion: Downsize and live in a smaller home in a nicer town. You will likely be happier.

I’m not a fan of Spartanburg. Not scenic and lots of poverty. Greenville is the hottest area and it’s suburbs like; Five Forks, Travelers Rest, Simpsonville, Greer and Taylors. Upscale all over, hilly and much greener. Go to downtown Spartanburg and it’s empty. Downtown Greenville is classy, thriving, everyone is nicely dressed, and it’s a three times longer strip.

Is it cheaper to live in SC than FL despite state tax ?

[@JerryPinkas]

Looking at the numbers, South Carolina is more affordable than Florida. Luckily, both South Carolina and Florida are considered to be very tax-friendly states. In fact, Florida has no state income tax, no taxes on Social Security, and no inheritance or estate taxes. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, there are also no taxes on Social Security and income deductions are available for retirees. South Carolina is among the top 10 states with the lowest taxes in the nation. Thanks for watching and commenting
