Economics 101

12/2/2006
Upon all the research that I have conducted, no one has yet to make any valid, precise statements regarding this city. I have moved from Maine to Myrtle Beach and I can tell you right now, you don't have a clue about harsh living until you live in a state that is labeled at the bottom of the list of states to live. I would rather live here than back in Maine, but no matter where you go you will get crime and unemployment because of the population adjustments and the "tank effect". If you have too many people living too closely together, things like that happen. Before anyone moves anywhere, do your research online. I don't blame the areas of choice more than the people that move into areas such as this because they did not do the research necessary to ensure a satisfactory move. There is enough information from Forbes.com, CNNMoney.com and this web site to help people determine if any place is the best place. I like the heat, humidity and everything else about the south. When you live in a state that has a very low population, high taxes, and high unemployment with an average snow fall of 8-9 feet a year, you will appreciate the higher quality of life in the south. You talk about rude, come up here where if you don't speak like them, they don't want to talk to you. Any hint of a southern twang or accent unlike their own and even finding jobs is difficult. If your last name is unfamiliar, the job market is even harder regardless of your education background. Oh and one more thing, I was making 13k a year working at a wood mill in Maine with 102 credits in college, a 3.9 GPA and 8 certificates, so let's talk about hard living while here in Myrtle Beach it's not that difficult making a decent living with the right educational background.
