First and foremost, the town is located right beside Ft. Bragg, home of the 82nd and 18th Airborne. Now it's been decades since I was there (`74-`76) but that fact hasn't changed.\n\nStay away from Hay Street. ;)\n\nedited- Check out Crystal Springs instead. it's on the other side, smaller, much closer to Pope A.F.B. and quieter.\n\nPeace,\nRev. R.Twig Jones (AODA)

we'll im concidered low income i get two checks for 541.76 and my youngest son is disabled so he gets 603 a month. so in total i make around 1,600 a month and about 17,000 a year and in socorro county thair is alot of low income. so in your situation if you were to rent a place here youd be able to get all the bills paid and still have quit a bit left over for spending. Cause if you were to rent to own some houses are like 425 and some are 500 a month. Right now I pay 474 per month in my aptartment complex. And Magdalena is a great place to come and retire at its a small town we have one grocery store trails end market, a gas staion the chevron, a furniture place nice stuff, there is a place called kelly mines were they used to work many of years ago, every year we have old timers reunion with rodeoes, and people have stands all over the rodeo ground with dances at night. we have a small marchals office with only three cops, the apartment complex i live in used to be a whore house when billy the kid was alive, he also used to stay here when hiding from the law. Also their is a house that belonged to Paris Hiltons great,great grandfather and another historical house here is the Macintash house. their is also wells fargo bank very small, we have three wonderful resturants and a coffee shop which is here in the apartment complex, but the lady who runs it is very rude and hateful she is also my landlord, she tried to kick me and my two children out on the street so her friend could move in. but the owener over rited her eviction on me. But anyways i dont know where your from but the nearedest town with a wal-mart is twenty-seven miles east of our small town and we are also nine hours away from the arazonia border. hope i gave you what you aked for if  not ask again and i will answer again. my spell check is having problems so sorry for the mis-spells

I wish I lived a closer but I live on the west side of the state.  I know that it is close to Conway which is a bigger town.  It's also maybe thirty minutes from Little Rock if they don't mind driving. Have you looked there?  Don't rent the trailer unless there is a storm celler.  We get alot of sotrms here.  Good luck.

It great! Everything you need is within walking distance (well almost everything) GREAT restaurants, great bars, friendly people. It can get expensive though. So make sure Mom and Dad are up to chipping in on some of your expense. I live in MI and I love going to Ann Arbor. There is so much music and Cultural influences. It just might be the most socially significant area of Michigan.

Anywhere between $9 and $18 an hour, depending on where you work. If you are willing to do emergency room work then you can make $18/hr easily. I live in Fayetteville.

I really don't know much about WV, but I've been there a couple times (to Huntington). If the rest of WV is like there, you're better off moving to VA. Don't get me wrong, the people are so nice, but there just aren't many jobs. I also have a cousin who lives in the mountains in Berkeley Springs and he works in MD.

I live right near Hunstville and currently have a job here.  Just look into some engineering field that would best suit your skills... engineering's all over the place here.  The baby boomers are getting old, so people are now starting to retire.  And there aren't as many engineering students coming out of college since you don't have a communist scare like you did back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's.  That means that there should be plenty of jobs here.  Just keep looking... you'll find one soon!

nice part of town is away from downtown (orange park comes to mind)  but the good nightlife can be found along the beaches then again Ferdina Beach is very nice and peaceful as well. You already know about the Jaguars and the largest outdoor cocktail party every college season. as for affordiability it depends on your income but I can tell you this much amelia island offers homes in the 400K range and a lot of areas in the Jacksonville area are around 200k now you could go condo (about 100k) if you are into condos. Your next problem is insurance what you are paying now on your home pretty much double it when you come down here (triple if you live along the beach) . Car taxes none $35 or so for tags every year thats it. state income tax NONE. Grocery Tax NONE. Current gas prices around 2.35 (not bad) but nearby Georgia is lower. traffic NIGHTMARE especially at 5pm. two major interstates (one other is a bypass of 95) and they are jammed  with constant road construction. Just take yahoo and do a home search for teh jacksonville and good luck

I visited New York City last summer, and was there for 2 weeks staying on the upper West Side.  There were Nanny's everywhere, walking kids in strollers and visiting parks with other nanny's, If I were you I would go to Craig's list its a website and look for Nanny jobs in NYC.  The upper West Side is higher class people.

You must live in the same place I do because my kids and grand kids all complain about the job market and low wages. I know that the wages are higher "up north" but I lived there and it's more expensive so its a wash. I feel sorry for you guys cause when I was young when you took a job you had a chance to work your way up, that doesn't seem to be true now. I hope you are successful in finding a decent job.

Go to Florida, but don't expect a handout.  If you learn how to WORK, there will always be a good paying job waiting\nfor you.  It seems so simple to my generation.  How do we get this through to the younger generation when they have examples such as this guy's parents.  Wow.

i live in muskogee. first of all, i agree with the get a car with good gas mileage and go to tulsa.  but if you insist on staying around here, there is a barebones film festival that is here every spring. (you just missed it).  There are usually various activities and things at the library.  There is the Muskogee Little Theatre. ( It is the best) There is an art museum featuring native american art.\nthere are also numerous other museums around town.  You can visit the welcome to Muskogee tourism dept.  for more information on those.  Or if  you are old enough, you can just get drunk and try to forget that you live in this hell hole like the rest of us... just kidding... it really isn't that bad once you get used to it.

Hey there - I just found out that they're letting 18-20yo's into Paper Moon in Little Rock.  Might be good for a road trip.  Be sure to bring your Visa though.  Place is a shakedown.  \n\n(Sorry, don't know much about NWArk region)

I have lived in St. Marys, GA (at Kings Bay) and in Jacksonville (stationed at Mayport).  I didn't have kids when I lived there, but I think the Kings Bay area would be the better of those two for a family. It's a beautiful little community, everything looks new and the people are friendly.  Jacksonville is so big, and is more adult-oriented, at least the closer you are to the base.  As I remember, the cost of living was about the same (they're only about an hours drive from one another). The gas was cheaper in GA.  The Kings Bay base is a WHOLE lot nicer than Mayport. I lived in the areas from 1993 to 1999.  Never lived in Pensacola, but I hope this helps with the other two.  Good luck, GO NAVY!

I don't think you will have to worry too much about having a job at 157.  You could consider cemetery maintenance though, then you could live? right on the job.  Or under it.  And don't worry about your dad - he'll be out of the picture.
