Review of Bend, Oregon

Star Rating - 12/1/2009
This town is extremely expensive!If you expect a average income will cut-it, think again.Its beautiful, but for some one that hasn't got deep pockets will be living out of there car.Even if you make 30k a year,you still might need food stamps.I was 22 and HAD TO live with parents and would be considered to make a descent amount but wouldn't cut it with the average cost of living.If you plan to live off the Dollar Store, you will make it just fine.Many peaple try to keep up with the latest and can be very pretentious.
