re: People that are always talking about moving

I'm probably guilty of this at times. And I can tell you, for myself, and probably many others like me, it's because we're unfulfilled in our lives (for various reasons) and think that moving can provide us with something exciting in an otherwise mundane existence.
Sounds depressing, but at least in my case, it's true. There's something about a new location, new challenges, new adventures, that is appealing to me.

My sister and BIL have lived in like 4 different states since 2010 and complain they don’t have a “village” to help with their kids
Yeah no shite. What did you expect?

Wife and I talked about it for years, we had a fairly unrealistic want. 15 acres or more, in our price range, with a house already on it (didn't want to build right away), in a good school system (the really hard part).
It took years to find it, something popped up on the market, we had a contract on it first day and moved 2 months later.

No, Larry had to be institutionalized due to the PTSD from the assault and the Penguin syphilis destroyed his brain.

Thats the biggest downfall of moving away.
What doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

Well, that's the thing. If you're always moving around, then you also cant' expect Aunt Jenny to watch the kids, Mom to bring over milk if you're running low and don't have time to go to the groceries, or Dad as someone easy to see that cool new movie with.
There are certainly tradeoffs of moving constantly and away from home.

Heres the thing, they dont do it every time you ask anyways.
Also, most of yall have brothers and sisters who have kids. Everyone cannot always be bringing kids to the grandparents so they can watch them.
I think this is one of the downfalls we have right now. The 25-45 range is using mom and dad for multiple things.

I'm used to that being that I've lived in 10 states. I think it is great because it forces a rugged independence and spirit.
Yes, some things are harder and I made some mistakes that I wouldn't have made if I had others to rely on, but it has made me a much stronger, more competent man.
It's also why I encouraged my stepdaughter that it was OK to go to college 14 hours away.

The people who say they are going to move out of the country if so and so gets elected but never move are the worst. Put your money where your mouth is.

I’ve lived in 4 different cities in my career. It’s exciting and easy to meet a new network of friends when you’re young while exploring the city.
Post 40 it’s a little tougher and can get lonely at times I would imagine esp if you’re single.
I can’t fathom people that have lived in the same state/city their whole life esp somewhere as shitty as La

If you live somewhere good, nobody talks about moving.

there is no perfect place to live
even the most desirable places have their own issues and that's if you can even afford it
the best thing to do is when you are single and have more portability in your life, go out and explore new places and see what it's like and then determine where you ultimately want to put down roots
once you get married and have kids it's a lot harder to do that
once you get established in your career, it's also a lot harder to move especially if you want to maintain that lifestyle

I thought about moving, but I've got a pretty decent swinger group established here in Central AR already and I'm kinda shy around new folks...

When I moved back to BR, I knew it would be temporary. I gave myself 5 years to grow with the company I was with and look to either move within the same company or a new company willing to pay for me to relocate. It took 7 years because of COVID and I ended up going to a new company. Everyone in my friend group knew I was looking to move. It would come up in every now and then, but I wouldn't make a point of bringing it up all the time. I'm not an OT baller, so I can't just up and move whenever I want to.
I have no interest in moving now. I feel like I got extremely lucky at the time I moved. I lived in my new city for a year before purchasing a home. I bought my first home with a 3.5% rate and I didn't overpay for it. My tax assessment just came in with total property assessed at $23k higher than I paid for it 2 years ago.

Do yall experience this often from various people? I often hear it from my in-laws. Just total unrealistic expectations of wanting to live in places with mountains that don’t get hot.
At the same time they’re so cheap when it comes to buying anything big. Just get tired of the same old song and dance. If you don’t like where you live then either do something about it or shut up.
Mind you, they are a large landowning multigenerational family in their parish with countless friends and a big network not only in their community but statewide. It’s not like leaving and starting fresh would be easy to say adios to that.
generationally wealthy people bitching and whining, what else is new?
