I currently live in California, but it’s literally impossible to afford to buy a house.

Where are some good places to move to? I was thinking about Washington State, but I’m not sure I could handle the snow.

    I have lived in a snow area for decades after moving from California.

    Nobody knows how to drive in the snow here. They forget every year, so you will fit right in. Get a car with AWD, leave room to stop, accelerate slowly, no throttle when sliding to regain traction(don’t put your foot to the floor), and keep your tires where others have driven. Snow tires are amazing, but not necessary and are a hassle. Keep a small snow shovel in the trunk and non-folding traction mats if you can. You should also keep a charged jumper pack in your car because the cold don’t give a shit about you needing to start your car.

      Be prepared to pay 4x as much when you need a replacement tire (you have to replace all 4)
