[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being rich in a flyover metro is no different than being rich in a coastal city once you're married (with kids). Men work, go to kid's private school functions, drink good scotch alone in the basement while watching cable news at night. SAHMs do yoga, shop at Whole Foods, post on facebook. Your circle of friends is other execs, business owners, lawyers, doctors, professors. If you're jones'ing for the one Kennedy Center event you go to a year, fly to it. Flyover is only a risk for middle class who don't have the deep labor market bounce around.[/quote]

This isn't true. I'm from a wealthy area in a flyover metro and it's VERY different than living in DC with a two career household.  [/quote]

Can you elaborate PP? I am considering a relocation with my family and would love to hear your take. Will I die of boredom? [/quote]

Not pp but I’m from Chicago and never been bored. The nightlife is extensive, we have good outdoor spaces to run and bike, and many of the moms are yoga finatics that shop at Whole Foods. I can see moving to a rural area can be boring if you’re a city person, but living in Chicago or in the heart of cities like Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Colombus, OH, etc., will not leave you bored.

I would be very happy living in Indianapolis. I spent a year living in South Bend and I actually became depressed it was so horrible. [/quote]

Flyover country single and broke != flyover country with a family and millions[/quote]

I was married and definitely not broke. It was just a god awful place to live. There was absolutely nothing to do and the restaurants were horrific. Look, I have lived in a lot of places as a trailing spouse of an academic (and i mean a lot, including 2 in Europe), and some places are just shitty no matter how much money you have. [/quote]
