[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Utah and sometimes I find myself dreaming about moving back for the slower pace of life. But then I stop kidding myself -- there is a reason I and many others choose to move away from those types of places and move to DC. As a girl I was told that my purpose in life was to be a good mother and a good wife. I knew only one mother who worked outside of the home when I was growing up, and she did part time work in the education field. The other working women I met were teachers. People were extremely provincial and didn't like outsiders. They had (many) children young. Even though the cost of living was lower, there was constant stress among the mothers to keep up with each other -- their kids had to be doing all of the activities, all of the time. Nah, I'm staying here. Places with high costs of living are that way for a reason. Think carefully about the place you'll be moving to if you leave. At least pick a college town.[/quote]
