Hey, when I got divorced, no way could I have afforded to live anywhere in New Jersey. I moved to Pa. More or less, somewhat in the middle of nowhere. Bought a house, my mortgage, insurance and taxes were less then $500. per month. Within a half hour of me or 45 minutes of me, there are big companies that pay well.
I didn't want to be far from my family. I guess to some 2 hours is far, but it' OK with me. I can do a day trip there and back in the same day. I could probably have found something closer to them, but I like this area, and I like my peace and serenity, and I have a phone.
So lets talk some more about your dream !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
