How is it living in Santa Fe, NM?
devilblue1922 asked:
I will have the opportunity to move pretty much wherever I want to in the near future. I have read about Santa Fe, NM being really nice. I have also heard that people there are either very well off or are considered lower class as far as income. There isnt a middle class to be found there. Is this true? Is Santa Fe a good choice, and if not, what would be a good place. Im looking for a decent climate year round, job opportunities, nice people, etc. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Santa Fe is a great place to live IF you have a very big income. There is basically no middle class. Most of the wealthy people are retired folks.
Most of the younger people work in the service and tourist industry. The younger people do not earn much money (average around $16,000 for a working couple) and their housing is expensive. Those are about the only kind of jobs in Santa Fe.
Winter is cold and snowy but it is a ski area. Summer is hot in the daytime but cools off at night. Weather-wise, it is good.
Economically, if you are not independently wealthy, you are not going to get ahead in Santa Fe.
