Living in Buffalo, NY my entire life and decided that it's time for a change in scenery. I've since retired and exploring South Carolina, is Aiken the place for me, hoping for pros and cons responses.
If you are not semi or wealthy don't come to the Aiken area being poor here sucks there are opportunities but you have to have an education higher than highschool to get a decent job back in the day the cotton mills could offer something but you still lived in poverty. I am a life long resident and a senior now I had to work very hard and lived on a budget and have four children and it was not easy. I am slowly getting used to being retired still living on budget. So no don't come if you expect night life or anything more exciting than watching TV or watching some one putting on a roof.
Very well done video. I visit every few months and have fallen in love with your town. I absolutely plan to retire there.
