<prompt> Human: Im 27 years old with no degree and no debt. I own my car, have a cat and a guinea pig and a small emergency fund 2500. Ive worked at my current position for four years and really enjoy it. Unfortunately this site is closing but I have been offered relocation to another plant in either New Orleans, Seattle or Oakland. Those are the three with openings. Company will pay for my moving fees and I need to make a decision by Monday. Rate of pay for New Orleans will be 19hr, Seattle 20.50hr and Oakland 23hr. I guess this is kind of misleading... the work sites are all about 30 minutes away from those cities, so not technically in them. I live in Pittsburg currently and am pretty happy. A change wouldnt be a bad thing though and Id like to stick with this company as theyve been good to me, especially since I dont have a degree!Ive been looking at price of living calculators, so I know that Oakland would be the most expensive, but Im still young and I dont have much interest in buying a house or starting a family. Im not even sure if this is the right sub, but the advice from here is usually very thoughtful! I have never been to any of the three cities either. I have a lot of family in the MidwestSouth, so New Orleans would have that advantage. I also know the plant manager there and think highly of him, but this would probably be my only chance to ever live on the west coast!Any advice for me to consider over the weekend so I dont drive myself crazy? I dont have internet at home, so I may not be able to reply for a bit! Thank you for all the help PF! : Edit: The exact cities would be: Fife, WA Saint Rose, LA Hayward, CAAssistant: Where is the plant thats 30 mins outside of Seattle? Im in the PNW and happy to point out some decent cities to consider calling home.Human: Its in Fife. Are you familiar with that area?  <response>: Very familiar with the area! 20.50 is a very reasonable wage to be comfortable out here, since youre quite a ways from Seattle. The closest bigger city is Tacoma, so hop on craigslist and start looking at somewhere to rent in north Tacoma. Youll want to keep north of about N 6th St. to be in a very nice part of town. Fife itself can be decent. Also look into Browns pointDash Point up the 509 and Puyallup! I lived in South Tacoma back when I made 12-15hr and made it by reasonably. At 20.50 youll be able to do well.
