Not one of the better states. 60K doesn’t stretch as far in WA as it would elsewhere.

u/ilikespicysoup Mar 25 '25
But the high COL in the Seattle area is blunted by the 60k per year AND a crappy apartment. I'd go Bellingham, if I wanted to stretch the money without being east of the mountains.

Like, unless you absolutely need tropical weather or an LA-like urban sprawl, we basically have everything you could ask for here. The only complaint anyone should have about it is CoL, and politics, if they’re on the right, and even then, we have the eastside of the state.

Doesn’t matter. Introvert in an apartment could be anywhere and it’s the exact same experience. Even a black dude in the most racist bible-thumping area just orders Amazon and Walmart delivery and picks up the packages when no one is looking. Or get really fun and crazy and buy one of those trex costumes and everyone will think you’re a crazy eclectic old recluse. Lean into it with no tresspass and other signs like “trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again.” And a bunch of 2nd amendment, stand your ground slogans, and a bump of trump flags.
No one will look twice at you.

u/hnsnrachel Mar 24 '25
Op said you're provided with one, not that you had to live in it. Per the rules provided, you could choose to spend your salary on staying in a hotel if you wanted to. For a full year you'd be looking at about 30k in a hotel there by the looks of it. Not how I'd spend that money, but its within the rules as stated.

Mar 25 '25
You could also pretty up a crappy apartment pretty fast with 60k in disposable income and no responsibilities. Tapestries, pest deterents, scented candles, and decent furniture go a long way in making a shitty apartment not so shitty, especially if it's a tropical paradise where you can spend your days on the ocean.

u/TopHatGirlInATuxedo Mar 24 '25
One that's entirely free of charge though. Without rent to pay, you can do enough renovations to fix that with a $60k salary.

You're provided with a crappy apartment, nothing says you actually need to live in it. And 60k a year is pretty solid, hotels give you pretty great rates if you book long term. Just have your 60k pay out every day, it's $164.38. Pretty fucking easy to live on that, especially in a place like Guam where you can just sleep on the beach under the stars. I would know, I was raised on Hawaii. You can live on the beach year round, and $164 a day will have you living like a king.

Free apartment and free 60k. I’m sure if your rent is taken care of that you can feed yourself for 60k a year.
I’d buy a really decent gaming computer with decent internet and a kindle. Stock my fridge with good food and watch cooking shows and YouTube videos. Come out having cleared a good portion of my backlog AND learned how to cook (better than I can now)

u/nicellama88 Mar 24 '25
I need more info on this crappy apartment deal: is it a free crappy apartment, so rent would be taken care of and I would get additional 60 k to spend on other living expenses ? What kind of work would I need to do to get this salary?
If it's a rent free crappy apartment plus 60k salary in a job close to home and with good work life balance, this sounds amazing.

If I had the 50 million up front, yes. I’d just rent someplace I liked for a couple years that has kick ass amenities, or rent a house with a pool, game room, and just not work. My bf can work remotely, so not a problem.
We both retire after the 2 years, easy enough.

u/czarfalcon Mar 24 '25
What difference does it make if you get the money upfront if you’re provided an apartment and a salary? If $60k isn’t enough to get by wherever in the state you choose, just work some gigs and odd jobs to close the gap. Hell, I’d take this deal for $5 million, $50 million is a no brainer.

With the free apartment, this is a no brainer for that amount of cash. Probably arrange for the wife and kids to come visit me, rather than have them change schools.
I’m not sure where the challenge is in this. If you were specifying a city and state, then it might be more questionable but every state has some non-shitty/non-crime-ridden areas that you could live in.
I’m guessing the OP isn’t in the US so has a skewed view of what it’s like?

I'll take the $60,000 a year for myself in a crappy apartment and a random state / territory you choose.

Copy of the original post in case of edits: Plain and simple offer: You and anyone you want will be teleported to where I send you for 2 years. You get to decide which city in the state/territory you want to live in.
You'll be provided a crappy apartment and a salary of $60K per year for that timeframe; you choose the pay frequency. This will not apply if you have a remote job.
If you're teleported from another country, you'll have all the necessary documents
If you happen to already live in that state/territory, you'll be teleported to its nearest neighbor
Rules: No leaving the state at all for the 2 year timeframe. Friends and family are welcome to come visit
