Give me the tea… Moving

Moving to Junction City (working in Eugene) from the Midwest in 2 weeks and am looking for intel from those who have also relocated from out of state (or locals if you’re not sick of invaders). I’ve been researching for months so I’m looking for the really obscure details that never occurred to you until you got there.

(Avoid these unless you have a LOT of money.)

I certainly don't have a "LOT" of money, and these are still not unreasonable for a date night once a week. Some are more costly than others, but mostly all still mid range restaurants.. Depends on what you order and whether you're also getting cocktails.

Once a week? Bub, you either have good money, few bills, or both. I don’t know anyone who can drop a Franklin on dinner for two once a week.

I probably have less bills than most as I'm not an idiot with the money I do make and live relatively frugally in many other areas of my life, but if you knew my income, you'd agree with me that your idea of a lot of money must be that of a child's. Also, I think the only places I listed that we've dropped close to a hundred is rye, Tavern, and black wolf when there are multiple cocktails involved. Every other place is pretty easy to keep it around 60, especially without alcohol. Pretty reasonable.

I’m not trying to start a flame war here, but also: if you’re pulling in over 35k, you’ve already beat the only meaningful median. And if you’re doing that without raising kids, that’s a LOT of money you’re not spending.

Sounds like your idea of a lot of money differs from most.. All I'm trying to get across is, if you budget for it and prioritize a weekly outing by being frugal in other aspects of your day to day, these places aren't unattainable for the majority of folks. Might be different if you're a family of 4, but hey, we all have to live with our choices.. Not really relevant, but if you're making 35k you shouldnt be having kids anyway, you're just a burden on society at that point because we all know it costs much more than that to raise them properly without assistance from someone, whether that's family or the government.

I didn’t make kids; I raised them.

I was busy being the part of society helping to relieve the “burden”.
