    Great field. Father in law works for AES (DP&L) in Ohio, definitely worth looking into. From time to time, whenever considering a change in the back of my mind, this path is often thought of. Thanks for sharing, if I lived in Colorado, might find myself giving you a call.

    Edit: bet all your goodies are on their way to being paid off, if not already.

    Colorado is pretty spendy now, and we are having a big problem importing employees from out of state. The pay seems good until they find out the housing market.

    You could sell the house in CA, pay for one cash here and live like a baller.

    Man oh man do I miss the springs. Spent 7 years there , we lived in old town and it was expensive. I can only imagine how much things have changed and how expensive it is now.

    I dearly love Colorado. Always looking for excuses to visit family in Springs. I like living in Tennessee a lot, though.

    Depending on where you wanted to live, it might not be that much of a difference in cost. I just looked at my area and it has gone up to an average of 1.7M. It just blows my mind.

    We are going to TN this summer for property searching. Getting a little spendy there as well.

    Yep. My house has more than doubled in value in the 6 years I’ve owned it. I love Tennessee, but I don’t really like what Nashville has turned into. You looking in middle TN?

    Good call. From the edge of the Cumberland plateau on eastward is the best part of the state IMO. We take lots of trips out there to the Smokies and CNF.

    Yep. I lived in Memphis for a while in the early 90’s. That taught me to stay on the East side. :cool:

    I loved Colorado when I was there for a trip, Denver, not so much but the other parts I went to it was awesome. Would be great to live there but I want to escape the winter, I'm getting tired of it after living in the Northeast for my whole life. Was looking at Vegas but prices have gone up like everywhere else.

    You clowns are overflowing into Cheyenne on us too lol. The housing market is retarded here now, and the place is a dump with the worst weather.

    No doubt! This was a long time ago, but I interviewed with Lockheed-Martin in Denver once, and was tempted by the offer they gave. But then I saw the prices of even modest houses!

    I had to bail. It felt genuinely stupid not to with housing where it was. Property taxes were also becoming ridiculous.

    Wound up in Alabama. Mortgage free and no debt. Never in my life thought that'd happen, but here I am.

    Congrats. That’s a great position to be in. And Alabama is a far cooler place than most would give it credit for.
