If I was single (or in a relationship where we live together), working remote making $250-300k, I would rent a 1BR apartment in Malibu for $5-6k a month. I’d buy a motorcycle and ride it up and down the pacific highway. I’d learn to surf and do it often. I’d eat at Nobu once a week. I’d spend evenings hanging out on my balcony, looking out at the ocean and drinking wine. It wouldn’t be the most cost effective long-term lifestyle, but it would be nice for a bit. But I have a wife and a kid and a mortgage anchoring me down in the southeast. It’s not a bad life, but a guy can daydream. c'est la vie TC: $230k
I’m young single but my TC is $180k. If I can get it to $300k, then I’d consider Laguna Beach or San Clemente.
Get there and do it man
Pretty sure you can live in Laguna/ OC with a 180k tc you can spend 3k on rent
Sounds like an amazing life 🤍
You have a pile of gold and you're pining for copper. 😂

Why not move to OC and do all that? It’s great for both you and the kids Malibu is good for rich old people and the homeless
what's OC?

Why is Modi spewing so much hate on Muslims to win elections?
As someone who has spent a lot of time there, you would be in traffic most of the time, you wouldn’t even be close to afford a decent place with that income, and the ocean is very cold. Those 80’s days are over man, most properties there are investment properties and homeless are flocking up from Santa Monica. Baywatch times are no more.
Definitely couldn’t afford to buy, but maybe rent something like this? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/20118-Pacific-Coast-Hwy-Malibu-CA-90265/2056065085_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare
Shame to hear it’s gone downhill like that, such a beautiful place, but haven’t been there in years. Makes me feel a little better about not being able to do it though 😆
