CA is expensive though. I'm just outside of Chicago so some of the areas by me are expensive too. If they aren't expensive, the local taxes will kill you. Personally, I like to have a lot less home than I can afford. Fill it with nice things, and have money left over to go on vacations, buy a nice Z, and enjoy life with a little less stress.

Ive committed myself to not getting a home in Cali. 500k would be a bit hard for my family since I'm the only income (wife is in school for her RN). But anything less than that puts us in a bad area... Cali is frickin ridiculous in its home values. So were thinking town home, or something along those lines. two car garage is a must though. I'm just tired of renting homes and throwing money into the drain.

I go to Cali every year to spend a week mountain biking around Laguna Seca and road riding in the surrounding areas. It's expensive, but there are some other more reasonable areas if your willing to commute. Otherwise, on an up note!, rents are very reasonable there and you haven't lost much at all by being a renter in recent years.

Not a real expensive item, but it should be.

If you wear undershirts, check out the Uniqlo Airism line. So thin, soft & comfortable. And like $12. I'd say they're similar to the $34 Tommy John's, but don't fall apart like TJ's. And they're actually a bit cooler since they're synthetic vs. cotton.

I tried the Airism boxer briefs, and they're thin & light, but I just couldn't get use to them. I'm a 'let it hang' kinda guy & the boxer briefs are 'hold it up' style.
