My husband and I lived in CO for 3 years, and by the time we left last October I have never been so glad to see such natural beauty in a rear view mirror. There's no jobs, no housing - it was literally cheaper for us to build a house than buy one - and it was only getting worse. I was a department manager at Safeway for the last year before we left, and it was a nightmare - no one can afford to live there, so no one stays in their jobs, so your own job (if you have one) is a nightmare hellscape of understaffed, underpaid stress. We worked 40 hour weeks in non-minimum wage jobs with a mortgage less than $900 a month and still couldn't even save enough for a vacation once a year. (No kids, no debt.)

I'm not saying this to put you off; it's your life, fuck it, do what you want. But the green rush is very, very real and I would encourage you to have more concrete plans before you up and leave because for every one of you, there's 10 more rich dicks buying all the land and charging people like us through the asshole to live there.
I appreciate the words. Hopefully I can make it work.

I will say it's interesting in the midwest... I have friends who didn't go to college and walked into 16-20/hour jobs and cheap housing. However, I really really hate tornados and corn.
Everywhere's got something. I feel pretty strongly like, if I actually had discretionary income (at least in part) because I got paid decently and wasn't having to pour more than half of it into rent, it wouldn't seem like that big a deal to have to go hang out in safe housing for a few hours/days every now and again.

we've got hurricanes. I get more notice with them. LOL. I am way more scared of volcanes, earthquakes and tornadoes.

Really? Because for the brief period I lived in more Southern climes, I was abjectly terrified of hurricanes. Can't really explain why, but the Big Wind seems a lot scarier when it comes off the ocean. <shrug.gif>

interesting. there's tons of jobs in CO in my field of work and most areas except downtown Denver are cheaper than where i live now. Interesting to see different perspectives.

Yeah I mean to say there are "no jobs" "no housing" "No one stays at their jobs" etc etc... Is obviously a generalization but I appreciate the input and I understand that although there maybe jobs and housing it is rather expensive to live there and it is a rough transition especially for somebody like me with no real education and no specific skill set.

I have to make a move soon and my good friend lives there whom I've lived with before and we get along. His current roommate is getting ready to leave and his lease is going to be renewed so this was the plan for me to head out there and move in with him.

Just hoping that in my case the stars end up in liine and I get lucky somehow. Astrologers are saying Jupiter is in my sun sign and that is suppose to be pretty lucky . :O

I think just cuz I was raised here? I can leave for a hurricane. I also have to think about my horses and all my animals. Trying to keep everyone in a safe place is very stressful for me. I saw someone who builds concrete stabling for horses that is supposed to endure tornados. that's kind of cool.

Ah, yeah, that could be. The PNW doesn't really do hurricanes (or earthquakes, or tornadoes) so I had no real idea of what to expect from a hurricane, and all the news channels made it sound *super* doomy. It was freaky.

Concrete stabling for horses sounds good. What about concrete housing for people (that isn't all institutional-looking and gloomy)?

but you do technically have volcanoes and cannnn have earthquakes. I've looked at the PNW. The eastern parts of oregon and washington state are so cheap to keep horses (compared to here) and there are shittons of recreation jobs for my field. way more than here.

Well let's get with the 21st century tech people. When a tornado or hurricane comes you just lift off and relocate your house.

And then bombard the Zerg.

An infinite variety.

Also paint helps.
