(9,463 posts)I sorta am tied to Texas as I have been here 3 decades and my friends and "family" here (in quotes because I'm not related to them by blood but was in a long-term relationship with a woman who had five kids who I helped raise and now consider me "Dad" or "step-dad" and who have their own kids now that consider me their grandpa.) My actual blood family are all in the east, N. Carolina, Florida, and Virginia. (Kinda sucks those states suck so bad!) But, here's the thing...
I'm not particularly tied to this region or that because if I can find a way to slash my living expenses, I can retain those ties even if I'm 1000s of miles away because I'll have the funds to travel more often, which is ultimately what I want to do with the money I save from slashing living costs, ie: rent, electricity, etc.
