Everything decision we make in life has a price and it's great to weigh things out beforehand. It's great that you're putting so much thought into it. I was so young and naive when I took the leap I wasn't thinking much beyond the moment.
That's so true. I wouldn't have known any different if I hadn't left. The misconception I had back then was I had to leave to achieve what I wanted to but I know now that isn't the case. I had nearly moved to New York City in 1994, the year before I moved to Minnesota. I inherited the "tumbleweed gene" from my father's side of the family. : ) They came to America from England in the late-1600's. You're welcome!
