I wouldn’t want my kid dreaming of living in California.
I grew up there. It’s beautiful…but there’s a reason that every time at work (I worked in Gardena/Torrance) that every time a job opened in Dallas, Atlanta, or Chicago that every young kid was applying. And that the company made the wholesale move to Tennessee - and a competitive company moved to the Dallas area.
There’s nowhere better than California…but how will anyone afford to live there?
What about her suits her for Cali - there are different types in all places including California.
All that said, I respectfully disagree with @parent365 that I don’t think in today’s world, where you want to live matters…you can get to anywhere from anywhere and often times, unless you’re financially sustainable on your own, you won’t necessarily have a a huge say in where you’ll end up.
Good luck - as always - i’ve enjoyed the journey.
