Have you moved out of state?

Perfect? Definitely not.
Better than others? Definitely yes.

Agreed!

But it’s super hard with having kids in the mix because they want to be around their cousins and other family members…

But you never know until you go!

Its a big country. Last thing you want to do is to live in the same place all your life. Everyone should experience different parts of our country before deciding where they want to live forever.

I couldn't disagree more. My family homesteaded in the very small, very rural town that I was born in (in along with my children and 5 generations before me). Generations before me lived and died there. I wanted to die in there but state politics forced us to move. There is a very real community that is irreplaceable when you and your neighbors have been going to the same church together for generations.

Your can be a mile wide and shallow or a mile deep and narrow. In my perfect world we would have stayed a mile deep.

That said I'm glad we moved and I think this move will be good for my grandkids.

Alls I know is not a single person on the planet can tell you the best place to live. Not a single one of us wired the same. I hate it for the folks not happy where they at, stoked for the folks who are happy where they are.
I’m never moving again after the 7 states I’ve lived in.

Yup,when i was 18. Born and raised in a small town in N.H. met a boyfriend that summer who was only visiting his grandmother for the summer months and i packed up and moved to FL with him never living anywhere else other than that small town i was born in. All my family still lives there. Though i'm no longer with the same boyfriend, i still live in FL and been here a total of 13 years. Never considered moving back home because little did i know how much of a different world there is outside of that small town. There really wasn't anything going good for that town other than the papermill which would shut down every other year. still not much going on in that town. I don't regret moving to FL. Though, I'm about to pack it up again and move to TN. Small town that reminds me of my home town in N.H. only not quite so cold in the winter time. I enjoy FL but i do miss the 4 seasons and my dream home is to have a log home and no chance i'm going to build one of them in FL so we're on our way to TN in about 5 years. Got the property already, just killing time while my daughter finished school. Now the in-laws are wanting to move with us as well as our friends who already have property as well so it won't be quite so isolated this time around. at least we'll have people to share the new experience with this time around.
