Son lives & works out of state. Visited him a month ago (wife & SIL did that last year ... someone has to watch our 13 year old Lab).
He picked a nice apartment, sparsely furnished but had all the essentials. Went to his office campus and visited a Sat morning food & craft market. Fridge was pretty empty, so was the pantry ... assume he eats out a lot (company has a nice cafeterias with subsidized breakfast & lunch). Talked about financials, he's doing okay, putting in enough for company 401k match and hasn't gone crazy with credit cards or buying a new car.
He is looking for a new job. He's in no rush (I told him give it at least 2 years, looks better on CV), he's satisfied at his current job but is looking for more. He wants to move closer to the South and mentioned Chattanooga as a primary target. That would be great, about a 2 hour drive from us.
All in all, a good trip and nice to see how he's doing in his early adulthood.
