[QUOTE="baldy, post: 741074, member: 265"] Thanks for all the great replies. To tell the truth I made my decision 5 years ago and so far I have stuck to my plan. First I paid off all my debt by taking every minute of overtime I could. Then I started sockin away cash. One thing that cut hard into my stash was some land that came up for sale...I bought it so I felt I had to stay put a little longer to get that paid for and build up more cash. Then I spent a bit more on imprvments, all piece by piece and with cash. This is a new way of life for me as 10 years ago I would of had to borrow money for anything that cost more than 500 bucks. But for a lot of years I never missed a party or if someone called and said "hey lets go to Vegas next week " I'd say "Why wait till next week,lets go tomorrow" Anyway I got a whole new focus on what is important in life back a few years. (Met a gal from a neighboring town back home) My list of reasons to stay put is pretty short now and my reasons to move back is pretty long. I hope no one confused my use of the words "simple life" with "easy life". I know I will be working harder and longer for way less. I will probably stay for a couple more years but with aging parents,my girlfriend, my dog,horses,most of my toys back there it might not be that long. I look at folks like msscamp with a whole lot of respect and a bit of jealousy but I know my turn is coming. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
