hey there… saw your post about moving to NC? from another area for your horses. Curious where in NC you are and how you like it? I’m considering moving out of northern virginia to a cheaper area, but would need a job… am chicken to move alone but this area i’m in is ridiculous expensive… anything you could share would be appreciated.

The job thing always seems to be the main issue: All the best places to live, by my standards, don’t offer many employment opportunities. This area is no exception. If you’re in the medical field, the services in this area are expanding and creating some opportunity, but otherwise, it seems to be mostly service industry. The only reason I was able to move was that the company I work for is closing some of their physical offices and letting people work out of home offices. I’m near Hayesville, NC and I love it, but then, I really love the small town atmosphere and I know that kind of lifestyle isn’t for everyone.
