"Fine for some, buy I say move to Appalachia- it’s cheaper, and safer."

Narrows, Va. You can buy a nice house for less than $100k. Beautiful vistas. No jobs. You can drive 20 minutes to Blacksburg and enjoy all the bennies that come with a large university.

An excellent example. Most Freepers would probably love it a little ways from the larger cities.
I took my 401k and moved further out in the SW corner of Va. but I’ve less than 20k in my house and land ( and almost a year’s work). Just love it: comfy home, lots of ways to save money, good neighbors.

I hate to mention Appalachia on these retirement threads, but feel I owe it to Freepers.

No jobs, but hey I’m retired!

Queue the guitar line from Deliverance.........DaDa Da Da Da Da Da Da Dahhhh.

You have a good thing going there for you my friend.
You got it all. Family, church, good people everywhere (well, most everywhere), sports, access to getting out of there once in awhile, USA TV stations, decent radio, decent transportation, decent weather. Let us not forget, you have a good job.

What can I say, your the winner.
