Re: It's expensive to live in Newport Beach

  • That's ridonkulous.

    H used to live right on the CM/NB border. Just crossing the street into NB, the price of everything shot up.

    Live in CM. It's close and way effing cheaper.

  • I am home sick and a bit snarky today ... I gave my 2 cents.
  • I don't think you were snarky at all.

  • Oh good...I wrote it with a snarky tone in my head.

    Btw, Hi!

  • Hi!  To both of you!  Smile
  • Here, here for CM. It border Newport and rent is RIDICULOUSLY cheaper. Plus, I hear really hot girlfriends live there.

  • Unless I could live in a huge house in Newport Coast I'd rather live in Costa Mesa. This chick sounds like a total dummy.

    CM rocks.

    Hells yeah it does. Which is why it's on our short list of places to live when we move in August. 

     

  • Yep! I chimed in as well. CM is way more affordable.

  • Age + lack of budget is no excuse for the "I've become comfortable in this lifestyle & don't want to change, ohnoes!" issue.

  • She's an idiot. Costa Mesa kicks Newport's ass every day of the week in the coolness category.

    Of course, if you want to deal with college kid parties and fake boobs, Newport is TWTG

  • Good lord.

    And she wonders why I don't take her seriously?

  • IF YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON TACO TUESDAY THEN YOU CAN'T EFFING COMPLAIN.

    I should go to El Ranchito tonight and kick her.

    Crying

  • I posted too ... I don't get it ... she said that she leases and yet based upon her one blog she has been making and plans to make more improvements to the house.  I don't get it unless it's her parents house which would make more sense.

    It's a typical "I grew up here, I'm spoiled and young and don't really want to make sacrifices."  Also, she's waiting for someone to come bail her out of her financial mess.  Seen it way too many times.

    She said she's renting from a family friend who gave them a deal if they fixed it up. 

    So she's doing all of this work on a house she doesn't even own.

  • I hope she changes her ways.

    Or else she's going down a really bad path.

  • that whole group o'threads was fully entertaining.

    well, if frustrating = entertaining.  heh.

  • I actually do work one whole day and I miss all this.

    Crying

  • Wow - she's getting a deal AND she can't afford to live there? And of course she is getting screwed by this friend. She sounds... um... bright.
  • I think I'm getting soft.

    I am actually frightened for her well-being now.

  • Talk about crazy. I just don't get people that live that far above their means. Besides the fact that I hate the ingress/egress of Laguna, price is the biggest reason we live in Aliso. Just a few miles away and a world of difference in COL.?

    For real. The "why group up when I can skate off my parents or their friends" excuse is lame, but all too common for kids that never leave the bubble.
