[QUOTE=JSH;655370]Sure it is. My wife and I packed up and left our hometown at 22. Since then we have moved states 3 more times in 21 years.

Makes sense now. Both purchased houses and rentals are being driven by out-of-towners with deeper pockets. Houses are going to people wealthy enough to buy a 2nd home and rentals are going to college kids that are being rented based on the parents' income. If Wikipedia can be trusted more than 1/2 of the town's population are college students.



Where isn't marijuana legal now? Joking, but there are only 14 states left that you can't smoke a little weed.
It's one thing to move out when you're 22. It's another when you're nearly 40. Still, it might be the right move. Or at least I could start out telling the people I work for that I either need enough pay to afford a place to live or I'm going to have to quit.

I did try to live in Denver for six months when I was 21. It was miserable though, which is why I gave up and moved back into the mountains.

I do still have my CDL and it seems lots of places are wanting drivers. I just can't do trips that keep me away from my wife and kids though.
