Here in rural Tx it costs me $75/hr for an independent garage. Back in Mo. it costs me $40 Her 10 ac here in the sticks but still in driving distance to Houston ( like 60mi), it will cost you $100,000-150,000 bare worth less ground IF you can find a for sale. Back in Mo, in the sticks it would cost more like $30,000. Closer to Joplin, maybe a little more.
Electric bill here is $120 a mnth, back home it was $45. Everything is relative.
Have a flat side the road in Mo. someone will stop an ask if you need help, especially if you are old or a woman, maybe they do that in Vegas.

Main point of story- everything cheaper in Missouri.

No one will stop in vegas if you have a flat, you probably are better off not having random people here stop though.

Guns. If you want mine good luck... I had a few... bought a few more... then a couple more... but unfortunately I lost them all in a boating accident last week... ammo... I have enough... I could always use some more though... because that pesky boating accident...

My woman is already skinny, she doesn't need math.

You don't need a boating accident if you're in a face-to-face sale state, and our law preserving the 2nd Amendment is supposed to go the Governor pretty soon. :usflag:

The question you gotta ask yourself is, will you be ok with it if you move to Missouri and our love of Bar-B-Que, sedentary lifestyles, and dollar stores ruins your wife's figure.....

I've bought and sold numerous guns with face to face sales... until commifornians changed the state law last year... how are the carry laws in Missouri?

BBQ? I mean... I like to feed my wife a good piece of meat every once in a while....

To bad I just cut my mullet. I'd of fit right in at the dollar store. Can Missouri handle us Vegas folk? Are there enough mopars for me to buy out there?

Joplin is a nice place to live. Housing is very affordable, you are about an hour from a nice lake any direction. They have a very nice mall and a ton of good restaurants. Everybody from all the farms and small towns come there on the weekends, so it can get busy. I think that is why all the restaurants are there. It has most of the conveniences of a bigger city, except no pro sports teams or airport. There is some amount of crime there, which is the only down side.

No airport? News to me.
If your offices are in Neosho, Monett, etc I would be looking to buy something in those areas.
Constitutional carry-open or concealed.

I'll say that Missouri is a treasure trove of mopars. They all have Missouri rust though. Tons of mopars in the sticks. I loved my time there. Picked up an aar from a field and found like 12 other mopars to purchase. Only had one trailer.

We are also looking in vegas but earning potential of smaller city/town is much greater than in big densely populated cities...

Come check out Lake of the Ozarks while you are in MO
Nice area, good people, great food and a lot of hi performance boats and cars.

If you voted...um....Liberally, We're full, stay out west. We'd hate to have to run you out.

If you voted conservatively, we can make room for you. We like minorities....y'know, like orange people.

The people are great but you'd better be ready. Our women aren't typically skinny unless they're on Meth, and there's plenty of the Bubba here. We like the way we live, and we don't want to change it, so you'd better be ready to do the changing if you don't like something here. A wave and a smile will get you pretty far in southern Missouri. If you want gun control, I might as well say GTFO now and save you the trouble. Still plenty of high schools here with shotguns in the pickups in the parking lot, and rifles during deer season and we teach our high school kids how to shoot. Kansas is considering mandatory gun safety training K-12 (God I hope Missouri follows that one).
Our cost of living is low. Don't mess that up for us.

Also, you'd better like humidity, we have a lot of it. And weather extremes. 110 in the summer with 100% humidity, and can hit 10-20 below some seasons. I'll often go from furnace running to AC running in the span of a day or two. I've seen 5-8" of snow in May, and I've ridden Springfield to KC (3 hours) in shirtsleeves in January on a 70 degree day, and had to ride home in the snow in shirtsleeves the next day.

Plenty of Mopar people here and that's true of 'car people' in general.



Get a map, follow I-44. The tornadoes tend to follow the interstates and hit the cities here, for some reason or another and that's as true in Kansas City as it is in SWMO. I lived in right in between Springfield and Joplin for a decade, worked in Joplin for half of that. The tornados will blast some areas over and over, and skip some repeatedly. Joplin has had two nasties, IIRC but Carl Junction never had any that I've heard of (It's a suburb north of Joplin). Just like the certain suburb in OKC has had a few, over and over again. I lost a friend in the F5 in Joplin. Lots of the building code now requires either a basement or shelter.



BS. I've lived in Missouri since about '82. I've never seen a tornado, never been through one. Now that I say that.....it'll probably change. Oklahoma, eastern Colorado, and Kansas are far worse. Nebraska and South Dakota not so much that I know of. I hear about more in Kentucky and Georgia in the last few years, honestly.

I agree
I live in Lake of the Ozarks - south central MO.
I believe technically MO is out of tornado alley
You have a better chance of winning the Power ball than getting in a tornado.

Concealed Carey law and open carry. No worries, I researched. Nv and Mo concealed carry does not have reciprocity... no biggie

The meat has salt, pepper and a special blend over the top.

The Ozark mountains are located in Mo and AR right? I heard the Ozark mountains are beautiful. My buddy served his mission for his church in that area.

Edit- just searched, lake of Ozarks is in the center of Mo.

Lake of the Ozarks are in the Ozark mountains, but we built a dam so that part of the mountains is full of water now:D
 
Vegas/Henderson are hot as hell, dry and pretty affordable still but going up. Seasons are hot and mild with a close to freezing winter and some gnarly winds. You get the trash in Vegas and the Little league fields in Henderson....work in Vegas and live in Henderson. Oh, and there aint **** 100 miles in any direction outside the city limits 'cept a nuclear test range and a pretty big dam with a nice lake. M.A.T.S. still held there? Doesn't Joplin have a McDonalds that spans the entire I-44 overpass?

I live in centennial, by summerlin. Used to live in Henderson though.
 
In S W Mo. the two areas I would check out are Joplin and Springfield. I personally don't care for the Bootheel.
Mo is a Mopar state, but like everywhere the number of project cars keeps getting smaller.
Mo people are the salt of the earth and the backbone of this country. I guess I am biased in my opinion.
South Mo. is very conservative in all aspects. For me, take is good, not bad. If anyone wants Liberal go to KC or St Louis or even Columbia.

Com'on you will fit right in.
There is a Mopar event happening today at MO Kan speedway.
If you cant a car to buy here you would be hard pressed to find it anywhere.
You may like the Branson area also.

Buffalo is a small town, nice place, well located. It is almost near to Springfield which has all the big city stuff, airport, car shows, shopping etc. Land value and taxes are cheap there, good schools.
If you stay outside the big cities here the cost of living is very low.
MO is a super majority Republican state.
A lot of hunting, fishing and shooting sports.

I wouldn't want to live in the big cities in Mo... to much crime.

I like hunting, fishing and shooting... my family has 5.5k acres in Southern Utah, used to hunt there every year. We get 1 mule deer buck tag for every 700 acres from fish and game :thumbsup:

I didn't talk to the owner of the practice, his wife reached out to me. The owner is turkey hunting today lol.

Only bad part of Missouri, besides crime in big cities, is the Chiefs and the St Louis Blues... :rofl:

I would move to southern UT.
I love that area around Marysvale and Bryce.
Beautiful
 
To someone looking to relocate (especially younger people w kids) choose very carefully and choose RED the US is on the way to division.
 
Republic is basically a suburb just on west side of Springfield. They just about touch. Nice area.
Buffalo is about 30 mi North of N side of Springfield. They have a WalMart. Maybe 5000 pop. very rural. Majority there commute to Springfield for work.
The S and E sides of Springfield are considered the "best" sides. Just about all medical (hospitals) is on S side of town.
Life is an adventure. In 1979 (I was 31) I sold everything I had back in SW Ga and moved to 40 ac I had bought near Sedalia, Mo.... NO job, the wife, 2 kids, a 1 t. pickup, trailer, and a doz. quarter horses. I never looked back. I would do it all again. Yea, I could have moved to other state and made more $ but....
I have seen a lot of people move to rural Mo. and love it and stay a lifetime, I seen others that hated it and could not leave quick enough..

I haven’t been to Joplin but my best friend from the army lives in Broken Arrow Oklahoma bout 2 hours away. Been there half dozen times it’s a great place to visit. Places are pretty cheap to live, he’s got a nice place with a tornado cellar in it. The people around there seem way friendlier than I’m used to in Oregon. He’s been trying get me to move there for years. The biggest downfall for me is the lack of scenery, mountains, clear blue water and weather. You can tell folks from down there like America, most vehicles are American around there.

Come down a little further south and you will find alot more friendly oregonians.
