This year, it’s all about the jobs. Kiplinger’s Finance Magazine has come out with the 10 best cities to live in, and let me just boil it down for you: the best cities this year are where the jobs are. (Click the link above for more info about each city below.)
The cities are, in order:
01 Huntsville, Alabama
02 Albuquerque, New Mexico
03 Washington D.C.
04 Charlottesville, Virginia
05 Athens, Georgia
06 Olympia, Washington
07 Madison, Wisconsin
08 Austin, Texas
09 Flagstaff, Arizona
10 Raleigh, North Carolina
Now, living in a city where I can find a job is important to me because, well, I don’t have one. That wouldn’t bother me, except without a job, I can’t pay the bills. I’m having to move away from the Best City in the World [TM] back home because I can’t find work. It is, needless to say, extremely frustrating. As Everclear so eloquently put it:
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas
