My trajectory sounds very similar, minus owning any anchor property. Left that joint and life in the Big Shitty back in ‘05, and I love my new digs so much, I will never leave. Almost had a divorce over that issue, not really, but it was heading that way. I was able to provide some of what my wife needed to find more happiness where we live now, and now she sounds like me about never leaving. The best thing WE ever did, and it’s still getting better.
My wife actually was the link to us getting out of the burns and into the country. We moved just outside of where she grew up. It’s been a real blessing to us both.
