[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to a much bigger metro area but the lifestyle is so much more relaxed than the DC Area. We are 4 miles from DHs work, the kids school and our country club. All take about 15 minutes to get to. Work life balance actually exists. Working late means being home by 7. Most people don’t work past 3 or 4 on Friday. Plenty of things for the kids to do and they don’t fill up 2 seconds after they open. [/quote]

Where is this?[/quote]

I believe they said Phoenix. See 17:12[/quote]

Yes, Phoenix. It’s very relaxed compared to DC. Your job is not the first thing people talk about. There are many of my kids friends’s parents that I have no idea what they do. There are trade offs. Public schools are awful but there are tons of private schools for a fraction of the cost of DC privates. And it’s hot. It’s not cheap if you want to live in the nicer areas. We live in one of the nicest areas of Phoenix and our house cost more than the one we sold in NOVA.  There are less expensive areas but we wanted to be in Phoenix, not Scottsdale, Glendale, etc. [/quote]

We moved to Orange County CA.  The difference is significant - no one talks about all the stuff that is constantly regurgitated in the DMV.  It's just a pleasant place to live, with pleasant people and nice weather all year round.  Cost of living is higher but not that much so. [/quote]
