[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left. My DH is a fed. He made $160,000 in DC. He makes $160,000 here in "flyover country".  The difference in COL is staggering.  We feel rich here.  We bought a five bedroom all brick home on a large piece of land with a beautiful pool for $250,000. Our mortgage payments are about $1,200 a month!  I still can't wrap my head around that!  Our public schools are excellent. My DH's commute is 15 minutes. I found a perfect part-time job. Traffic is almost non-existent except on college football weekends. We live just outside of a college town in the Deep South. The people are super friendly. The pace is slow. The weather is good.  We are close to extended family. I don't miss anything at all about living in DC.  Literally not one thing.

Love the south.  I grew up in DC and went to college in the south and being around nice, friendly, socially skilled people unlike the power-hungry misfits that make up the majority of the DC transplant population- it is night and day, and such a relief to be around.  Like taking in oxygen after you'd been holding your breath. [/quote]
