I live a mile outside of a town of 4500, and its too crowded for me. Rocky is right. I have been scheming to get out west for good for some time now.
Trouble is, I cant figger out how to make a living. My wife, with her training, can get a good job anywhere. My trouble is, I have never really had a job. Always worked for myself. And I do make a good living at it, but its a small nitche in a particular area. Not something you could just pick up and go do anywhere. Too much competition from locals in those areas that are filling the niche there.
I have been reading alot lately about the border patrol putting on lots of new agents. Southern Arizona would suite me just fine. Land prices are cheap. Cost of living is cheap. If I could get a job there, my wife could get one real easy from what Ive seen, that may be an option. But, that is all I have come up with so far.
Listen to me. You guys are wanting to escape the city. I dont know how you live there to begin with. Here I am wanting to escape the country.
