Crime and cost of living in your area.

Calm yourself down pal, Barbee6043 is a stand up member here. You want a better life for your family, thats something commendable and I hope you find the right place but not ever reply is going to be helpful or what you want to read. Guys are throwing out ideas
I see things as a compromise, try and get the best all around deal but nothing is ever 100% and I think that may be what Barbee was the point he was trying to make
My thing is living were the work is, were you can develop skills and maybe nail down a decent job with good benefits
Than maybe hustle after-hours and weekends.....put the old car in the garage and cover it up, time for that down the road.....
Was always on top of kids, involved in sports/dance/ theatre. Wife kept on their school work. Living in the country is great but today thats no guarantee in todays day and age
best of luck to ya
Don’t tell me to calm down Pal. I dont care if you think he is a stand up member, the way he was responding was condescending.


I have no issue with reading differing ideas and opinions, as long as we keep it mutually respectful.

Calling me Pal or him calling my guy is disrespect, plain and simple. I have a name, it’s Jared, I use it repeatedly. If you don’t know that or want to remember that, you can refer to me by my handle, MidnightSwinger. If that doesn’t suit you, sir works just fine.

If I wasn’t open to ideas, why would I start this thread? So far I’ve looked into Indiana, Idaho and North Dakota, all based on member suggestion.

My original question was: where do you live, cost of living and crime rate. He never answered my question. He just interjected with his drivel and repeating what others have already said. Completely useless.

You initially offered some decent advice, I appreciate that. But don’t call me pal.
