[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone likes living out in the country. I tried it for several years. It was not for me.[/quote] LOL. The choice here is not DMV vs "the country" necessarily. There are lots of other metro areas to live in that have a lower cost of living and far less traffic that the DMV.[/quote] Traffic doesn’t matter so much if you work from home. We work from home and can get most of our errands done in under two miles, our kids can walk to their schools and we can easily get into the city for sports and entertainment. There are areas with a lower cost of living but it’s not that much lower any longer. The trade off is often lower-rated schools, less access to good doctors, a fraction of academic and cultural opportunities, etc. [/quote] Taxes matter though. Just by moving outta MoCo you can save a ton on taxes. Plenty of other areas in MD with everything you mention, plus better schools.[/quote]
