Wyoming is 90% more expensive than the rest of the nation? that's a laugh.
Really??? 90% more expensive than California and New York.......I’m thinking not
@@pegleg7621 that's what I said. there was a question mark because that's what she said. and I laughed.
If you go to Jackson Hole area you will find places too expensive for the average millionaire to live there. In certain areas.
@@alzathoth I was agreeing with you
Yeah... I just bought 120 acres in Wyoming about 50 miles outside of Casper... Yeah I only paid $60k... The electric rates there were like $0.10 per kWh... Way below the average. Gas is lower... Food was about the same as it is here in the 10th most populated (nationally) area of Ohio... Land in my area is at $50k+ per acre and I've seen some at $200k per acre.. Lets see Wyoming doesn't have income tax (state or local)... Also the sales tax on Casper area is only 5% around me It's at 7-9%... Property taxes are so much lower... On my 120 acres of land I pay under $500 a year... On my 4 acres in Ohio I pay over $5000, with only a $150k house on it... If I put a $500k home on my 120 acres in Wyoming... My property taxes will be half what I pay now...Unless there is some hidden cost of living I haven't seen yet. It's way cheaper to live there...
Thanks for these videos, I've really been enjoying them!
You seem like a sensible lady. My husband and I live in a town of fewer than 1000 people and the biggest issue is that doctors and dentists are not always available and a medical emergency is a helicopter ride into a larger town. You have to be a resourceful, self-reliant type and ready to pitch in and help your neighbors (as they are for you). Rents are more than Nevada but way less than California or anyplace on the Left coast. It’s a lifestyle choice than often entails home cooking, home schooling, and raising your own kids. :)
I agree 100%
Love this video! Lived in Wyoming my whole life, I can agree with a lot of the pros and cons, my only big con is the wind... especially during this time of year lol.
yes I can agree it does it windy here...but I love the wind...not tornados...but a good wind
Thanks for sharing. We are considering Wyoming and it's good to hear from someone on the ground.
thank you...glad I could help
As a Wyoming native, spend a winter in Wyoming before you move.
Cost of living in Wyoming is high? Try San Diego. It's double.
I have lived in both places. As different as night and day. Cost of living is relative to rent, transportation, etc.
More than Illinois or Wisconsin ?
But it's always 70*
Cost of living in San Diego has a huge range
Native Wyomingite, you are correct. She is wrong.
I love Cheyenne because the wind blows all the riff raff out, ha!
😂
Arizona is beautiful but phoenix is waaay to hot! Glad we found your channel because we were/ are somewhat considering moving to AZ but NOT Phoenix. Maybe Bisbee or Flagstaff. However we are also researching Wyoming now so thanks for making the video!
You very welcome. I miss AZ too, but agree phoenix is too hot 🔥.
The real question I have to ask myself is why am I not out there already? I visited Cheyenne last year and loved it. Going out to Casper later this year in June for a week
Thats awesome
you move there yet?
Lovely video, I'm thinking of moving to either Arizona or Wyoming from London UK.
Have fun!
Thanks
Moving to Casper in 8 days 😬👍🏼😁
that is awesome...Please stay safe though
Nice! - Its gonna be boring for a while until this whole corna virus thing blows over
Casper huh........ Hope you like wind.
How’s it going so far?
I was looking for a good "lunger-state" thinking Arizona would come up on top, but Cheyenne Wyoming was top rated as to answer your question about the elderly. I spent most of my life in NorCal,however lived in Massachusetts and in Tucson. I'm in San Fran Bay area saving to buy land hopefully in Wyoming because of the great air ratings. I'm done with moving and want to find a place to stay until I'm in the ground. Thanks for the info
Thats awesome to hear!
o ya i for got, we get 4 season's here in Pittsburgh to, very cloudy, only 150 days of sun here, yens get 233 days of sun, o ya again we have hills here in the burg
My friend lives in Laramie, and I'm considering moving there from the east coast of Massachusetts (cape cod). Where I live the cost of living is very high, and we get taxed pretty high too. Not as bad as states like NJ. Luckily Im a single male with no children so moving should be straight forward, I'm just looking for an opportunity to start my life, and cant do it here unless I want to slave away 2 to 3 jobs just to afford a crummy 1 bedroom apartment with no W/D hookups (for example). Thanks for the vid!
your very welcome
w/d hookups?
lol so true. i live in Chino, which is basically Los Angeles City, and i feel you bud. i work my ass off just to afford a crappy one bedroom apartment. no backyard, no garage . nothin. my parents live close and i am there most of the time. i have my gym set in the garage and use the backyard to play with the dogs. i dont have a girl right now, but if i did, i would have to work 10x more just to give her the thought that i might be able to afford a house one day, because, lets face it, what woman is going to want to stay with a dude who could never afford a house. Southern California is wayyyy overpriced and i want out.
@@dancer1 Washer/Dryer hookups
So... 9 months later, did you make the move?
Currently trying to leave wyoming myself. It's more expensive than you'd think particularly with buying property. Rural wyoming is laid back and can be fun. Cheyenne is liveable has some work. The people are generally kind of awful in Cheyenne. Outside of working and saving money there's virtually no way to build a life.
It can be hard...but some love it here
I loved it when I lived in the Bridger Valley honestly. One interesting example I have is a lady I worked with had her house broken into twice while in Cheyenne. She left. I've only has it happen once to me. Still it kinda ruined it for me.
@@sauronthegreat489 Im sorry to hear that
Thank you for this video. As a lifelong Californian, I don't think I'd be able to adjust well to the weather in Wyoming. I do dream, though, of being able to afford to live "in the country", in a peaceful place, and that's my vision (fantasy?) of how it might be in states like Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, etc.
That is an amazing dream
Nope, stay in California.
Thanks. I am curious about life in Wyoming. I am a city guy in Ohio. I’m contemplating moving to Wyoming
moving from a city can definitely be a different experience.
why
So I have lived in California Arizona Colorado Oklahoma I am moving in January to Wyoming now I can tell u that housing rent is a little pricey in Wyoming for it being so rural but its 10 times better than California and Arizona combined
Rent is higher because there is no state income tax and the property tax is low so that's why housing and rent is high. Also depending on where in WY you are moving to. Gillette is better than all other places when it comes to rent.
@Arizonan in Wyoming hey im from Phoenix and i was honestly thinking about moving to Wyoming been thinking about it alot lately 🤔
@ The 3 Deuce
All I have to say is prepare for a major drop in temperature...Its gets well below freezing here
Maybe try Ohio. Similar weather, but way more choices in the food scene.
You can get country living or big city- feel living.
nah
In response to Wallflower Canyon remarks as to why I moved to wyoming. You don't know until you try it. The only way you get to know a place is to live there. I used to visit wyoming all the time---in the summer months very pretty was in the cody area eventually bought a place in Powell Wy after living there for a while you find out all the pros and cons about a area. People talk of cheap property taxes well I can assure you that property taxes in Park county are not cheap , also I don't know of a place where food is taxed at the grocery store. The prices to register vehicles and boats is comparable to california and I did sell out and move out of Wyoming. I also can't think of a reason to return to Wyoming as most of the state of Wyoming is super ugly. It is pretty around Yellowstone , BIgHorns , Ten Sleep , Shell but the drive from Rock Springs to Cody couldn't be any more ugly or windy .!! But I'll keep trying to think of a reason to return.
100% correct.
Im in Cheyenne....my drives are surrounded by flat brown and yellow endless plains.
In California food is not taxed, non-food items, beer and wine yes. Good for retired people due to no income tax, no tax on social security, no estate tax, etc.
food is taxed in ca
😳👍
I lived in Nebraska, Wyoming, and Texas. Casper, Wy was the most expensive to live in by far. Just my opinion though.
Really? Where in TX? I've lived in NE, CO, MT and now TX, sadly. I hate TX, can't wait to leave. Part of the reason is the property taxes - mine just went up another $300/month. Even if I wanted to stay, I couldn't afford it.
R S I’m in Austin currently. I pay the same in rent but I have a huge apartment compared to the place I had in Casper. I like it here, but honestly I miss the mountains and I might move back when my lease is up.
I lived in NY, TX, SC.
Wyoming has been the most expensive place.
TX the cheapest....half the price of living in WY.
Dangic23 Yep!!
@@Dangic23 wtf why
Medical insurance is the same everywhere.
I pay olmost 200 for me and my wife per week.
The factor for the cost of insurance in WY is that the state only has 500k people.
There is no competitive market, so people are left with basically only 1 option.
wtf
Insurance can vary from home to home...Our family was estimated $1100 for complete health, dental and vision for a family of 5. Were it was half that in AZ
more than Pittsburgh,Pa. i don't think so, look at the property Tax's, dirt cheap there
Why do all these youtubers move here and try to get other people to move here??
That I'm not sure...but they should inform others what there in for
@@ArizonaninWyoming well your video is titled "Why you should move to Wyoming" so I was asking why all you people move here and then tell a bunch of other people to move here??
Ironic. I'm in Arizona and I'm researching on Wyoming. I'm not sure I'll move there yet. I'm trying falgstaff, as first.
Skip Flagstaff unless you like lots of traffic, high rents, ex-Californians, and college kids.
Be warned flagstaff can be expensive
I was looking into Flagstaff and Im in Cheyenne....loo.
Houses in Flagstaff seem to be only slightly higher than here, but its definitely a huge upgrade from life in Cheyenne.
Houses here are expensive, and with nothing to back up the price.
There's not in CA
Hi I'm from Houston tired of this city.
I'm a truck driver but I want to move up there and I don't want to drive class A rigs.
Whats good around to work?
And whats the best city ? I want to move to the west because I hate tornadoes
I have lived in Cheyenne since 2014.
We are in tornado zone here.
Job market is not great. The good paying jobs are in mining and oil, but those jobs are in the middle of nowhere.
Cost of living is high also.
I was paying $1,800 rent for a 4 bedroom townhouse.
A new 4 bedroom single family house goes for $400k.
I had a new 4br house in San Antonio, better than anything here....purchased for $180k.
It is outrageous here.
@@Dangic23 wtf
@@Dangic23 why is texas so cheap
@CALIBRE 502
Im not sure what jobs are available for past trucker experience here, and only "cities" we have is Casper and Cheyenne. There not really cities (at least compared to other states). There are areas in Wyoming that do have warning for tornadoes, but I have yet to experience it.
@@dancer1
It's not that TX is cheap.
WY is overpriced because of the isolation.
There is no competitive market, so ot is always a sellers market, never buyers.
I retired and moved to WY in 2014.
It has been the lowest point of my life.
I live in Cheyenne.
your lowest point is when you lived in cheyenne?
@@dancer1
Yes.
I have lived in TX, Canada, NY, SC, Caribbean, Philippines, S.Korea, Germany.
The last 6 years in WY have been the low point of my entire life.
The weather here has caused something I had never experienced before in my life....depression.
And in the past, I have gone through divorce, loss of loved ones, war in Iraq/Afghanistan.......none of those got me depressed.
Wyoming did.
@@Dangic23 lol I left Cheyenne after 6 years definitely not my favorite place.
@@Dangic23 thank you for sharing. I'm sensitive to the weather as well
So sorry. Thinking of you.
There's no food tax there??? There's no food tax anywhere...
there is no food tax anywhere in Wyoming...Arizona does
Food considered junk or non essential is taxed in most states.
oklahoma has food tax
There is a reason the population in Wyoming pretty much remains the same year after year approx half million in entire state. Also it is not that cheap to live there very expensive vehicle registration and boat registration . Wyoming is the 9th largest state in mass area and the least populated. The people are clannish the food and necessities compare with california prices. Don't be fooled about how great it is, the wind does not stop blowing, there are few jobs and unless you work in the mines or oil rigs the wages are terrible .If you like shitty wages freezing cold ,endless wind and people that don't like outsiders Wyoming is the place to be. PS don't forget the high property taxes either !!
I can agree...jobs are definitely not in big supply here and its minimum wage is some of the lowest
I have been in WY since 2014....you are 100% correct on your entire post.
no state tax and housing prices are so low
@@Dangic23 rip
All the cities that anybody knows about in Wyoming start with an S or a C. I don’t know what your capital is.
Capitial is Cheyenne Wyoming
Jackson begins with a J.
@@wholovesyababy5574 Riverton, Lander, Torrington, Buffalo, Rock Springs, Alpine, Afton, Powell, Worland, Thermopolis, Douglas, Lusk, Wind River, Wheatland, Laramie, Green River, Evanston, Bondurant....Yep all the Towns Begin With an S or a C....🤔😔
I checked in internet it seems like it is hard to find job
I see help wanted signs all over.. Ads in the paper....for Nurses...Journeyman Electrician, Concrete Workers, Cooks, Waitresses, Servers, Janitors, Bus Drivers, Animal Control, Police department, Teacher's, Technicians...
@@ann40069 maybe i check only on internet.sometimes you must walking
@@tustazowiowao No signs in Windows, and Help wanted ads in the Local paper
@@ann40069 yes this maybe i felt like where are not enough jobs.it is true it better to visit the are first
Nc milk 236 plus tax
its about 2.46 for whole milk here
Omg you went to Casper
I more or less drove threw it...Ive never actually been there
Idk how true it is... but is it true there’s a lot of cowboys
Wyoming is one of the biggest states for cowboys...so yes
It’s not real
Tell Kanye that
"It doesn't OBTAIN to the whole state of Wyoming." .... Did you mean, "pertain"? : ) Sorry for being a smart ass.
lol yes
Food scene in Wyoming is non existent.
lol
So wrong....
@@ann40069
Completely accurate.
Nobody travels to WY for the food.
@@Dangic23 oh I thought you ment there were bad Restaurants....Because there are some amazing places to eat in this State...
@@ann40069
I wouldn't say amazing......just sustenance.
But I don't blame the restaurants ....I live in Cheyenne, and several restaurants have opened, trying to expand on the variety of choices.....but end up closing,
(Before covid).
Our State is a meat and potatoes place.
Us foodies have to go to Colorado to get our fix.
What about Myron , Wyoming ? Are people in Wyoming racist ? Are blacks welcomed?
