Has reading about the militaryâs experience alter your view of the events that were simultaneously taking place in Philadelphia? How do you think the soldiers later felt about the 4th of July as a holiday, knowing that they did not receive news of the Declaration until well after the 4th?
Please answer each question with a space between them individually.
-Thanks, Kayla.
Answer
The events preceding 1776 make the events OF 1776 seem like a logical progression(digression)
The 4th of July was not celebrated until the 1830s and by then, most who fought had died or were extremely old men. Those who were still around, found sudden celebrity and in that, they thought it a little odd. They appreciated it though. One such individual was George Robert Twelves Hughes, prior to the his career as a soldier, he was a shoe cobbler. He was involved with the Boston Tea Party.

Should I move to LA or to the Philippines?
promise
Hello all. I quit my job 2 weeks ago and planning to move to LA. A family member living in Buena Park said I could stay with them as long as i wanted to and drive the spare car. I retired from the military and receive a pension of $2600 a month. I have no bills, no kids with an excellent credit score. I do a have a wife that is traveling with me and will get a job just to make spending money. My question is, since I hear California is so expensive, is it safe to assume that we can live a good life there based on our individual circumstances with what we have to work with? I really would only want to live within a few blocks from the beach once we move from our family member's home. I'm not worried about crime because I grew up in Philadelphia, so I am used to it. Neither one of us drink or smoke, so most of our entertainment would be eating out, hiking, walking on the beach and riding bikes. If I purchase a car, I will pay cash for it and carry liability insurance only. I am also considering the alternative which is to move to the Philippines where my wife is from. We have a house there that is paid for. It's almost like living in LA there but in whole other country. However, I definitely would not have to work there either. Later on in La, I might have to get a job, doubt it though; what do you think?
Answer
$2600 might just cover a small apartment a few blocks from the beach in the LA area, like Santa Monica, nothing fancy. Maybe, maybe it won't be enough. A 600 sq ft house a block from the beach in Venice, on a teeny lot, rents for $4000 a month to one person. You might be able to find a decent one bedroom apartment for less ($2000+), maybe about 20+ blocks from the beach in Santa Monica or in a sketchy neighborhood, or about 5+ miles from the beach in Culver City, Palms, or West LA ($1600+). You might find lower rent but you'll want to check the neighborhood and neighbors carefully, your wife may not be as comfortable as you with high crime. Even at the higher prices, you need to check out the area.
You will likely have a much better style of living in the Philippines, especially if you already have a home there. One of my son's friends has lived both places for years, likes them equally, and her family has a very nice lifestyle in an upscale LA neighborhood.
Be very careful about rental scams, we have many in LA. Things like a manager takes the application and deposit (about 2x rent) from many applicants and then disappears with the money because they really have nothing to do with the apartment or house. This goes on over and over again even though they show it on the news. If the deal seems to good to be true..... it is. No one gives anyone a deal on rent in LA. Google: Los Angeles rental scams, and Rental scams
Many landlords in LA want to see income of 3 to 4 times the rent, great credit, rental and local job history. Typical for an unfurnished apartment is one months rents up front, plus an amount equal to one month's rent as a deposit, plus maybe some smaller amounts for credit check, cleaning, key fee. Your budget is very low for LA, you would live as a poor person and chances are no where near the beach, at least no where your wife would likely be comfortable with. Most landlords rent studio apartments to only one person, and as they prefer to rent one bedroom to one adult, if they rent to a couple, they often want each to be able to afford the apartment individually, in case they break up, especially if the income is low.
Good luck!
