    I did it! I'm out . . .

    Sorry guys, I'm 60 and been in SOCAL my entire life. Gotta get out while I still can.

    Just bought a home in Oklahoma. That place is awesome! Everyone is so nice almost to the point of making me puke! LOL

    Here are some money items of note:

    Mojave Propane - $5 per gallon : Oklahoma - $2
    Mojave Electric SCE - $.37 per KWH : Oklahoma OEC - .09 per KWH
    Mojave gasoline - $4.85 per gallon : Oklahoma - $2.35
    Groceries were cheaper than you could imagine.
    Bought a home on 3.19 acres for $320k that would have been $750 anywhere else here in SOCAL.

    I still get to do my same job because my company has a facility within 30 miles of my new house which is my normal commute time.

    Got my Oklahoma driver's license and me and my boy went to a gun store, bought a gun and took it home all within 15 minutes!!

    GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!

        Congratz! Totally disgusted with this foul, sh*t stained state. Went shopping with the wife yesterday, two cop cars out in front of the store as we were leaving. Zero chicken at Nob Hill. Zero eggs at Safeway. Ground beef was $8.99/lb!? Had to buy a 5 lb pack to get a discount to $3.99/lb. Chicken broth is $3.99/square box. Gas is $4.99 or $4.89/gal.

              Congratulations Op! Enjoy your freedom. I have found it so refreshing to interact with people outside of CA. People at the DMV, utilities, grocery store are actually helpful and cheerful.

              Best of luck on your new adventure.

                I would think someone with the number of posts and length of membership wouldn't be so snippy. But nothing surprises me here any longer.

                  Best of luck in the Sooner state. It?s southern enough so won?t be too much of a shock in winter coming from SoCal. Enjoy the Midwest.

                          Bet it felt good. I’ve added to my collection and been shooting more since going to az.

                            Blanchard - that's not too far from my best friend's house in Norman. Lots of good turkey and white tail hunting out that way, and occasional pigs, too.
