I do like where I live ...

So when I hear things about New England and it's history and culture and people, I tend to pay attention.

Just recently, the peeps over at GoFundMe declared we New Englanders to be the most generous:

We occupy the top three positions on their per capita donations rankings, and four out of the top five, and six of the top ten.

Despite this love of where I'm from, my wife and I are discussing where we want to live the rest of our lives.

It's not a decision to be made immediately. I'm currently enrolled in another degree program so I couldn't move immediately anyway. And she has a successful accounting practice here.

But long term ... It's this where we want to call home? It's an open discussion.

Do you love where you live?

Would you ever pick up and move?

What would motivate such a decision?

Is climate a good enough reason?

When a lot of people consider moving to a different region they ignore all of the services / service related relationships they have. Mechanic, tire shop, dry cleaner, emergency plumber, etc. While many people don't really socialize with these people who they depend on, we do depend on them, and when they aren't available we really miss them

@thisguy20 Oh for sure!!! My family has had a property management business on the Cape for years and the contact list is invaluable. Starting over somewhere would not be without challenges.
