Looks like I’m moving back to NC

I'm honestly kinda shocked by the Austin boom. The city itself is cool. Lots to offer for people looking for cool city stuff. But like you mentioned, no mountains or beach or really basically just nothing of note for hours in any direction. Like where do you go for a day trip or weekend getaway from Austin? I gotta think that you almost develop a landlocked form of island fever. There are just very limited cool quick getaways. I mean, if you're gonna pay damn near Boulder prices you might as well just go to Boulder and get the same type of vibe and have a lot more cool poo nearby.

You might be a trendsetter, hep. I asked on another forum (and here too I think) if people think that within the next 10 years, instead of SO many people moving to the Carolinas, Texas, Florida, AZ, etc., they'll me moving to the northeast or midwest. Sure, you're going to NC ... but you're leaving that hell that is TX. The summer here in NY has been super mild so far. Last year was too. And September is right around the corner!

The sunbelt is blowing up as far as people moving in. The real driver of a lot of this moving is from places with crippling cost of living to places of considerably lower cost of living. hepcat and I both fit that mold. There feels like there's a practical invasion of Long Islanders in this area currently for precisely that reason. Colorado felt under invasion by Californians for years for the same reason.

It’s the hill country or going down to the golf coast is as close as it gets

I have a friend who swears that Michigan is going to pop off in the next 20 years

I totally get moving out of higher priced areas ... but I just don't understand how people can stand the new heat we have on the planet. Christ, we got like less than six inches of snow last winter! So mild winters and pleasant summers sounds like the way to go. I can see Michigan, since it's near water and away from the coast. Vermont, New Hampshire, Minnesota could all be the new Texas, North Carolina, and Florida.

I can see it for sure. TX is unbearable this time of year. Highs have been in the 105+ range for a month straight with no rain and no end in sight.

Yep. Count me in with you guys. In Salt Lake now but in two weeks I am moving to Savannah GA purely for the costs and being a coast city. Strong economy here and security but unless you’re specifically tech, can’t make it work here. And even that bloated field is going to crumble soon. Either way a nice home in GA will run $350k and that same house here is 750k and for what?

Property value was a big motivator for me too. My house in Austin appraised at 700k and the house we got in Wilmington is 535k with 1000 more sq ft and a massive yard.

100%. My home was 630k here for 2000 square feet, .20 acre. I’m eyeballing a 320k house in Savannah 500 more square feet but over 1.5 acres of a well maintained wooded lot.

Wilmington came in a very close second for me. It’s a bit more pricey than Savannah (except downtown) but doable. Only reason I didn’t is Savannah is a bit closer to my vacation spots in the gulf but equal distance to Charlotte.

Still from what I’ve seen both are great areas to settle down. Austin was another choice they could’ve sent me to and I was like nahhh I’m good lol. Bring me back home where I can afford to live.

    • Running a small business can cause you to shoulder a lot of burdens, especially in the financial realm. Keeping track of revenues and expenditures to maintain a proper cash flow must be cautiously organized so that you are not off track on your funds or financial records when you are filing taxes. However, in today’s world, you can hire a freelance accountant or a bookkeeper to help you focus on developing other aspects of your business. However, you as a business owner might encounter chances of being apart from managing your finances. Therefore, getting some financial knowledge of what is happening in your business’s financial realm might be useful to you so that you can track your business progress and make it run efficiently without third-party interference. In this blog, you can learn all the ins and outs of managing small business accounting from experts to take advantage of your financial data! Small Business Accounting: Knowing the Workflow Maintaining small business accounting involves tracking your business account to see how you save and spend your business funds and summarizing them into financial statements that can be reviewed and used to improve the business. These are some of the activities you might do if you are managing your accounts: Creating invoices Monitoring cash flow to pay all upcoming expenses Everyday bookkeeping Scrutinizing the payables and receivables so you can track whether customers are promptly paying you. Filing tax returns Preparing financial records and statements All these activities have to be performed on three reports to provide a detailed overview of your company’s performance to date. They are: Balance Sheet- Liabilities and assets you own in total Cash Flow Statement- Cash outflows and income record Income Statement- Profit and Loss report Similar to the work done by outsourced bookkeeping services, you, as a sole member, should regularly update the report with relevant reporting tools to boost your company’s growth! Small Business Accounting: How to Grow Here are a few ways you can gain a better advantage in the market following these bookkeeping guidelines and build your company: Accurately Building Financial Projections Financial projections are the key to helping you choose the best kind of loan or investment. They also help forecast various aspects for different areas of your company, like inventory levels, cash flow, demand shifts, sales capacity, or customer behavior, to help you create long-term financial planning. Focus on Consistency Stability is of prime importance in bookkeeping, be it with you or the business process outsourcing services you hire. In this stage, you will set up accurate and consistent accounting processes. You also need to monitor diverse trends surrounding accounts receivables, three-way match different purchase orders and invoices, and receive reports before you input anything into accounts payable. Stay Organized Keeping track of income, transactions, and expenses is necessary to keep your finances organized. However, amidst your busy schedule, you might find it difficult to keep track of all these factors on software, spreadsheets, pencil, and paper. Thus, it’s important that you spend time keeping your finances organized, which does not lead to inconveniences down the lane. If you have the funds, you can also hire accounts payable outsourcing services to get advice to improve your financial management skills and get help with tax preparation so that you can choose a method or establish a system that meets your business needs. Automating the Software With the advent of digitization, accounting software can do wonders nowadays. This applies even to entry-level accounting platforms that can track your business expenditures, integrate your account, organize them with parameters, and collect the data for automatic invoicing. Additionally, this accounting software can generate follow-up reminders on invoices or flag the customers looking at their payment history so you can save time following them manually. Conclusion Maintaining your small business’s accounts is an arduous and challenging task that requires time, patience, and experience. It can also become strenuous without the right tools. But thanks to technology today, such as accounting software, which can automate the importation of vital data from your credit card statements and bank accounts directly into the accounting software. Moreover, with numerous online apps, you can enjoy a modernized accounts receivable process and balanced books. Outsourcing accounts payable is a suitable option, too. Ultimately, no matter what methodology you choose, ensure that your bookkeeping strategy is consistent, accurate, structured, and efficient to track your finances with excellent clarity and have bright business years ahead!  
    • He wouldn’t have done either. He would have signed Kerry Collins or Matt Hasselbeck in Free Agency and then drafted somebody else tbh.    It was clear that Cam was better than the other two but everyone was scared to bet on him because Jamarcus Russell was still fresh on everyone’s mind.    Guarantee he would have brought back Matt Moore or and signed some vet. 
    • I mean it works the other way too. Look at the people who skipped over Smith, Jenkins, Muhammad, Gamble, Kalil, etc. We have had more misses than hits but I promise other teams do the same thing.
