[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here.  Thanks everyone.  A lot to think about.   Of course a quick summary doesn't really do justice to what is going on, but yes, I should be grateful for the simplicity (health, finances, not working FT, etc.) of my life.   I do get that, especially as I was raised without money and in a very dysfunctional environment.

I realize geography is not destiny, and I will do my best to bring what I like about the West Coast to my life here for now.

The competition craziness is harder for me to figure out.   I have always been a high achieving person, and so it is really hard for me to step off of the treadmill when it is all around me.  I guess I feel like if I were in different circles or different area, I would be less likely to get caught up in the craziness I feel here.   But I know I have choices and will work harder to execute them.

I don't want to seem defensive, as there was some fair criticism waged.

West coast has gone mad with competition. Bay Area is all about money and is worse than living in NYC for COL. So Cal is also having similar boom PLUS has the stress of water wars. Oregon and Washington don't get sun -- you are dreaming of a nonexistent place. [/quote]
