I'm finding it so hard to leave this area. Yes, my house is valued at over 300 grand and I pay 6 grand for property tax, a grand for homeowner insurance and 2 for auto. I've worked in manufacturing the last 30 years and have seen it dwindle to near nothing in our soon to be resale only country. When the place I'm at closes, as most manufacturing has around here, I do plan to move but it won't be easy. My family has been around this area since the early 1700's and my wife is kid 10 of 14 with them all in driving distance. I'm a firm believer of "quality of life" and do a poor job at working on extending it because of that. Between the sale of my property and our IRA's/401's I hope to move in area that will only require me to work for health insurance at that time. Or just put my wife to work and I'll tend the home and collect cards
