  • 10 Best South Carolina Cities to Call Home.
    In this video, we will be looking at the 10 statistically best cities in South Carolina to live in. South Carolina has some great cities like Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Greenville. But statistically speaking the cities on this list would be the best. If you are surprised about one of these cities are on the list or one that isn't we would love to hear about it in the comment section.
    South Carolina is an amazing state that I think is often overlooked as a good option for relocation.
    This series is about the Best Cities to live, in the United States. We will be uploading 1 a week until we run out of states. I hope you enjoy the series.

    I’ve been diligently working and saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.

    • @PennyBergeron-os4ch
      @PennyBergeron-os4ch 21 день назад +2

      Just try diversifying your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your investment is balanced and you don’t get to make so much losses.

      I think stocks will plummet further before actually experiencing steady growth and there are still quite a few stocks that makes for a good buy this season, you just have to do your research, but to be on the safer side and not second guess your market decisions, I’d suggest you reach out to a proper investment manager for guidance, they’re better equipped at understanding market patterns/movements and adjusting portfolio to match up with these market trends.

      Summerville is turning into a horrible version of everything wrong with the northeast.

      That level of clear cutting is straight up land abuse.

      Columbia Native here. I like Columbia for it's low cost of living (compared to Greenville, Charleston, or Charlotte. I loved there too). The only thing that bothers me about Columbia everything is slow meaning slow to change or adapt to get new things (entertainment, different stores, etc) and ideas. You can tell McMasters does not want to change anything. Very old way of thinking and it can get boring. Yuk if you are young and want something exciting I would not recommend Columbia. If you are coasting like in your retirement years, I would recommend.
      I love Charleston BTW!

It used to be amazing till they renovated the slave market and dredged out the bay at Rainbow row to bring in cruise ships. They did ruin downtown. Those people do nothing but take up space. They aren't shopping they are walking. Meals are all included on those ships. So there is no real uptick in the restaurants it's just crowded with people. We go out to the Isle of Palms.

One thing about Tega Cay, pretty much one way in and one way out, traffic is brutal, and Lake Wylie is, well, nasty. If you really want nice lakes to visit in SC, try Lake Jocassee, or Keowee.

    Lived in SC my entire life and it’s growing pretty fast particularly a lot of the more rural areas Elgin, Blythewood, Chapin. The cost of living is pretty low so I see a lot of people who move here to retire. As far as crime yes some areas are better others but it’s everywhere most of the time kids in the neighborhood. Taxes are pretty high in some areas. Some of the areas on this list are good places but they are becoming very congested with the new neighborhoods popping up on every corner. So do your research ask locals before you decide coming here. Also if your looking for entertainment some of the areas don’t have much so if you like the mid paced lifestyle it’s right for you.

The beach is 3 and a half hours drive away, mountains are less than a hour, big lakes are less than an hour, Charlotte and Atlanta are about 2 hours away. We have a really nice baseball stadium in the west end and our downtown is second to none. Great colleges like Furman, wofford, Greenville tech, and Clemson are all close. There's good food like middle eastern, Thai, Indian, pizza, sushi, and of course southern.

So much so there are two Del Webb Sun City communities within unincorporated Fort Mill Twp, one of them is 2.36sqmi over twice the size of the towns I grewup in up in NJ.
    Lived in Fort Mill, SC from 2007-2020, it's a beautiful, friendly, & largely safe community with most major crime issues being related to spillover from Charlotte. We'd still be living there if a job opportunity hadn't presented itself to allow us to move to the beach. Now we're enjoying the beautiful South Carolina coastal life.
