I'm 46, going to be either a) with kids or b) paying child support for another 15 years, so there's no way I'll be able to afford to buy a house in California... even with the market drop, its still crazy. I've heard parts of Oregon are cool. If I could move to my dream town... Seward, Alaska. Nice little town on the peninsula, good fishing, kayaking, backpacking, etc. Oh and FRESH seafood. I miss Alaska, but hubby won't move b/c of high cost in airfare to try and see family. I'd just drive it - only 4 days from Anchorage to Denver - but he doesn't care for road trips. What about Idaho? Oregon rains too much, as well as Washington. Idaho is too cold. I don't ski. Its also full of Mormons, just like Utah is. I'm not a Mormon. I *hate* cold weather. Mormon population out here is dropping, down to 61% percent in last census. Same reason my mom won't move out here. I've learned a few things though. Aside from the liquor store clsing at ten, it's not that bad. Salt Lake itself is actually pretty diverse. I live on the "bad" side of town, so my neighborhood is VERY colorful (my neighbors - Vietnam, Cambodia, Bosnia, Mexico, a few Utahns, stateside transplants, inter-racial couples, same gender couples, etc.). As my friend down the street put it, it's great b/c her kid has grown up colorblind and without a lot of discrimination for being non-mormon. I'm also learning that there's A LOT of races out here. Just found out today that there's a tri club that works out here once a month in our spin classes. Do some research, visit different places, and I'm sure you'll find your happy place. |

LOL Im sorry Hector... but there is no way you seem even close to old enough to retire! Hmm.. where's the thread where we were all talking age, was it I or II? Isn't Hector like early 40's, exercise does keep you young. Yeah 40-something all I know is they were talking about being in college etc when I was probably in diapers |

I won't live in the NE. Too crowded, rude, cold. The South - the good parts are full of conservative Protestant religious fanatics. FL is a mess. ATL is too big. Texas - just too weird. I'm from Iowa but don't want to live in cold weather again, and I lived in the industrial Midwest and didn't like it there either. Arizona is becoming too expensive, NM already is too expensive. There really isn't a place in the US that I really feel a strong desire to live in. So.. you are looking at all your options positviely then? |

I hope it works out the way you want it to. spokes - 2007-11-29 4:11 PM HCS5QA - 2007-11-29 4:10 PM spokes - 2007-11-29 4:08 PM Exactly! You got me figured out.HCS5QA - 2007-11-29 4:02 PM kaqphin - 2007-11-29 3:30 PM HCS5QA - 2007-11-30 10:29 AM spokes - 2007-11-29 3:22 PM I'm already thinking about my next career move and where I want to live... I'm 46, going to be either a) with kids or b) paying child support for another 15 years, so there's no way I'll be able to afford to buy a house in California... even with the market drop, its still crazy. I know what you mean. I'm thinking of retiring in Texas in the next three years, buy a house and be a slacker. Can you beleive I said retired? I have exactly 3 years and 7 months till my retirement date. I plan to fish at a lake and support my self by selling bait. Do you think i can survive? LOL Im sorry Hector... but there is no way you seem even close to old enough to retire! That's why i love you gals! I'm 40 now, in 3 1/2 years I will have completed 26 years in the Navy. I could have retired 2 1/2 years ago at the 20 year mark but i wasn't ready to hang it up yet. Well, and you can be a double-dipper now too. Get a GS-12 job with a federal agency and collect your retirement at the same time... You are lucky. If I had to do it all over again, I would never have gotten married. I love my children, but having to share them with someone that I'm going to be at war with for the rest of my life isn't worth it, unfortunately LOL Yeah I'm not sure where I stand in my marriage. She left to live with my daughter while she figures it out, don't ask me what that is though. My youngest turns 18 in May so the kids issue won't be an issue. I'm a patient guy for now, we'll see how it plays out. Besides she's with my daughter and she is being good so far and yes my daughter gives her a lot of $hit over it. I hope she comes back but I'm tired of stressing over it, so i don't. Right now we treat each other good so I'm not angry. Besides she gets money from me while she's gone so she better be nice. Funny I just thought about that, I'm paying for her to figure it out. I need a beer. Ok Lets change that subject now. Ok, boys. The drinks are on me. What are you having? May I recommend MD 20/20 chased with a Little Debbie swiss roll? |

I'm so depressed just reading this thread now. I have given up ever leaving the South. The only way I will escape is if my husband drops dead or divorces me and I hope that doesn't happen any time soon.
