I'm still at home with my mom for the Thanksgiving holiday, but I was surfing online and comparing the cost of living with my old location here in Virginia Beach and the cost of living where I'm at now. This was all based off of my current salary.
I knew the cost of living was cheaper in this area of Georgia than Virginia Beach, but I was PLEASANTLY surprised to learn that the housing prices in Virginia Beach are93% HIGHER than where I'm living now. That was really wonderful to hear, especially considering the fact that I decided to actually buy a house in the city where I'm living now. I was on the fence about it because mostly everyone lives in other parts of Metro Atlanta (Smyrna, Decatur, Buckhead, etc). However, I decided that this is best for me right now. I'm about 25 min away from the actual city of Atlanta, but housing prices are DIRT CHEAP. I need to take advantage of that. There are tons of houses in this city that I know won't be bought by the time I'm ready to buy next year. I can get a lot of house for a decent price, so this is the best thing for me right now. If I decide to buy another house down the road (which I'm sure I will), then so be it. I don't need to buy my final house now.
I'm so excited as I look forward to exploring more about this area of Metro Atlanta.
