Anyone here from Oregon?
 

Do any of you live in Oregon? If so how well can someone live in Oregon on a 70k year salary?

I do not live there though my parents do.
For 70k you could do fairly well.

no tax in oregon right? 70k should treat you very well. i live in san Diego..70k wont even pay for the TP to whipe my ass...it sucks

Then again guess it also matters on which part of oregon.

70k puts you way above the avarage..

Not sure what you are talking about..

Maybe you should kick the drug or gambling habbit.

Teachers here make under 30k.

70k/year for most people is ok unless your living in a city. Also matters if your supporting a wife and kids on that 70k.

I can assure you 70k in the city here in Oregon is quite comfortable.

There is a majority here who are well below that.

70k is good.

Wow that is kind of suprising. Is that for single person, or like a 4 person family? You're in Portland correct?

Unless of course you are looking to buy a house..

Here in Oregon it seems almost any income bracket, buying a home that reflects your lifestyle or income here now in Oregon is difficult..

Real Estate is expensive here now..

4 person family??

Yeah sure.. Why not.

Vegas Baby !!! Boneprone when are you gonna come down and have dinner at my new house ?

I live in Washington but Oregon seems to be very affordable. Many people in Southern California are looking at Oregon due to its much lower costs of living.

Where you living now days mang??

You arent in Portland anymore are you?

Tell me about it..

All our neighbors are from out of state...

And our neighborhood is new.

No I bought a house in Vegas out by red rock canyon in a place called Summerlin.

Thanks for the reply guys! I have a wife and two kids. My company will supply me with a company vehicle and gas card. I plan on moving into the Vancouver area. I am really just trying to decide if I will be ok with the basic utils, medial ins, 500 mnth car payment, ins etc and a mortgage with a 70k yr income.
