Luckily I moved from Florida to Iowa. As a result I have almost half a year of open window weather vs. running the AC for 11 months. My power bills, which include tvs left on all day long, computers up around the clock and things like that are about 60% of what they were in Florida and my overall cost of living is about half of what I left behind and Florida was still climbing when I left.
My household income vs. cost of living has been dramatically offset compared to what it was in Florida where every month was a break even month. I'm not getting rich or anything but I am more comfortable. When you factor in comparative quality of life considerations, it's all win. I like every single one of my neighbors. I like almost every person I have met. I don't have any plans to get even with anyone because nobody has really done anything yet that requires it. There are of course bad people, but so far I haven't met them.
Worst complaint I have is I still see stupid shit in traffic from time to time and Wal Mart is still Wal Mart.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
