Know how you feel. After 53 years, I left the Hudson Valley for NC. I have 2 little girls and it was so tough paying taxes, and saving for college.
I never saw my wife, and daycare was raising my kids. Even though we had real good jobs, it was ridiculous.! No way to live. Hard to explain to my southern friends the rural lifestyle, that by and large is more rural than the south. I miss home, but we now have a family life, and I have friends that let me deer hunt and trout fish. .. It's been a good move. The jokes about Hillary have stopped, after the South voted Al Sharpton delegates to the Dem Nat convention... Something that has not hapened in his home state... There's tradeoffs and deer everywhere!!!
