San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen in my entire life. It’s the epitome of fun and sun. Just minutes away from baggage claim you’re sucked into the most incredible oceanfront skyline no matter what time of day you land.

From Coronado to Pacific Beach, San Diego is the ultimate place to live if you’re young, rich and fit. I would definitely recommend San Diego vacation rentals, but setting up shop there for good?

With all that sun, surf and skin, how could there be anything wrong with living there?

Well let me tell you… unless your a trust fund baby or internet startup buyout recipient, you’re in trouble! Just picture every morning when you drive to work and you see 3 hotties walking to the beach or two super sweet dudes heading down for some early morning surf… it’s addicting, it draws you in.

Work days get shorter and expenses get higher. When I first moved to San Diego it was comparable to my first year of college. So many things to do, no time to worry about work. Drinks on a Thursday at 4pm? Sure, it’s 75 degrees and we are 2 blocks from the beach.

Life in San Diego is fun and exciting but it can sure be expensively addicting. So before you make the jump to live in this incredible city, make sure you have enough self discipline to say no every once and awhile.
