[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.  [b]Literally not one thing.

...which is why you're on a D.C. message board.

Let me guess - when you're not at your part-time job you're bored out of your mind at home? The high school and college game fanaticism not enough for you? What about the picnics and fish fries on Sundays after Church - you could go volunteer. Maybe help out at the local senior center. Or sit in the hair salon and gab with friends?

Yes, its slow. That's why most people (including myself) leave. If you're an avid gardner, soccer/helicopter mom, or outdoor hobbyist, life in flyover is great. Anyone else and its shoot-myself-in-the-head.[/quote]
