RE: Swapping Blue for Green and Grey
Hey, @abh12345.
I'm sorry you had to trade down in the weather department. I know how that feels. Oregon is quite cloudy for great stretches of the year, but even we manage to have more sunshine getting into June.
I suppose I'm taking a pay cut, too (as boss seven years ago, I could do lowest six figures), which is quite a distance from where I'll be doing what I'm doing right now. But I'm strangely interested in it (it's bound to wear off), even if things are fairly mundane and menial. I haven't had an 'honest' job in a long time. :)
Again, good luck on the job front. Something is bound to turn up.
A massive trade down, but there is apparently more to life than sunshine...
Oregon I hear is lovely!
I doubt I'll ever see a six figure salary, but a 50% cut will hurt if that's how things end up. Hoping its 25% at most. Cheers :)
West side of Oregon (which is basically about a third of the state, maybe a quarter), anything west of the Cascades, is very nice. The rest of the state is high desert, and it has it's moments, but isn't what people generally refer to when they say Oregon is beautiful.
We do have one of the more temperate climates, but that generally means rain for at least a third of the time and clouds for probably two thirds. About four months of solid sunshine sounds about right. :)
The six figure salary is the benefit of owning my own business. Downside of owning my own business is that six figure salary can also be lower five figures or less depending on how the business is doing. :) I've been on both sides of that equation.
Four months of solid sunshine sounds like a fair amount to me - as long as you can get out there and enjoy it of course.
Right, own business can and likely will have those ups and downs, not too dissimilar to the crypto market :)
