Well, nothing is easy but, like I said, it depends if it is something somebody really wants or, just something to talk about. There’s nothing wrong at all with staying put if that’s what they are happy with doing. We did a five year plan and stuck to it no matter what. It didn’t go entirely to plan. They rarely do but, it can be done. 3 minutes ago, Snake said: I can transfer to any center in the state. What a great thing to be able to do.

ArcticCrusher Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 1 hour ago, Zambroski said: It’s all relative though. If you want to move that bad, you make choices and sacrifices. The higher paying jobs may not be there but, either is the cost of living. My point is, people talk about moving to their “dream location” their whole lives but there’s always a reason not to do so: job, kids, grandkids....and soon enough, we are too old to enjoy it. So, a life with unfulfilled dreams....but convenient excuses for it all My old man drilled his into me from a young age: Do it while you are relatively young. Excuses and reasons get harder to overcome as you get older....and we sell ourselves on them easier. “Well, I/we never did that because....” or “We can’t do that right now because...” Its not easy but, a plan can be made. And one that doesn’t start with, “When I retire....” That's why we have two places. There is zero way I can do what I'm doing, a dream career at my dream location.

Fuck you just don't listen. No dude, I hear you. This is the plan that rational, normal and safe people attempt. My point is, it seems it doesn’t get accomplished at the end. The same reasons you listed above will be some of the same reasons for not doing it at all. Nothing wrong with that....if you are happy. I find it interesting you seem hostile about your plan. Maybe you should too. Just sayin’. 10 minutes ago, ArcticCrusher said: That's why we have two places. There is zero way I can do what I'm doing, a dream career at my dream location. Yeah, my wife’s love of modern conveniences gets on my nerves. We are in a good place but I could go further north into sparse country and be fine. But, we’re pretty happy here. Not gonna lie about that. We sit pretty close to the edge of civilization and N. MN wilderness. She gets what she wants and I’m real close. I’ll build what I want, where I want real soon.
