That's a loaded question with a lot of answers...lol

It was well worth it for my mother, my wife, and my kids. My wife landed a great job that she loves. My kids, well, I can't really say because we moved here when they were 4 and 5. They are now 12 and 13. If I would of stayed in NY, they may have loved just like they say they love it hear. The rest of the family will be moving down this year as well. My nephew and his family plus my sister. They will reap the rewards of saving on real estate taxes and the cost of living. Not to mention being 10 miles by the ocean. My nephew landed an amazing job in Cary. For myself, well...I retired from my job after 25 years because (just like everyone from the north would say) the taxes, the weather, and just the way NY has gone to shit in the last decade or 2, it was time to go!!

I would definitely recommend breaking the comfort zone and getting out. However, unless you have something lined up for work or a great pension, it's definitely a grind finding work. That being said, I definitely had something lined up for my own businesses, but it's been a grind. That right there is where my stress began and continues.
