Young guy (25) looking to relocate to a market where I can start investing
Hello everyone,
I am from the Bay Area and looking to relocate to a area where I can start my investing journey. Right now, California would be impossible for me so I am looking into areas where their is a lot of opportunties. Open to any state as long as I can make money and grow.

Go where you can make the highest income relative to cost of living. It needs to be shouted from the rooftops on BP - THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN WEALTH CREATION IS YOUR W2 INCOME! (along with low expenses).
Get a job that pays you a pile of money and invest that money, live well below your means, think long term, and delay gratification. Slow and steady still wins the race.
