[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big con - finding good jobs in places like Cooperstown and Otsego.

I mean that’s why you left isn’t it?[/quote]

I get you OP. I'm from upstate NY too and some days I get sick of the traffic and the expenses of living down here, and just feeling like I'm in a rat race.

Reasons, I don't leave:
1. DH and I are both 15s down here.  We can't get that back home. 
2. Real estate getting more expensive in many places. We did buy right away so we do own a SFH in Fairfax County in a good school pyramid that has appreciated in value. I live in a peaceful neighborhood, and that makes me content. 
3. Telework means we don't go in the office every day, so we get a break from commuting, and just being around people.

Once we can retire, we are leaving DC. Only 23 years to go!

Also, another thing I don't miss. The weather in Upstate NY sucks 9 months out of the year. Its may and still cold as hell up there, people are insular and not as friendly as you would think, and taxes are too high. [/quote]
