In the News: 50% of Americans Want to Move

From CNN today... I wonder if this is because people want a change of scenery due to the bad economy or just don't like living where they are. As for us, we agree that this is the best place to live.
It's odd how more men prefer Las Vegas -could the attraction be the gambling and legal prostitution?- that would be a sad commentary on men. Meanwhile right now, the real estate market in Las Vegas has crashed, and condo and home prices have drastically fallen, due to some of the highest foreclosure rates in the U.S. (so I've read). They also have water shortages out there to contend with, so I feel for the folks that do live there.
Meanwhile, if you're not happy about where you live, make a plan and do something about it. You don't HAVE to stay anywhere unless you're jobless, then just start looking for a job via Internet in the city you want to live. I did it. That's how I moved to Tennessee/Kentucky in 1995 to go back to school. With faith and determination, you can do anything.
Otherwise, FIND good things and reasons why living where you live! Life is short. Appreciate the time you have, wherever it may be. - Rob
