Nothing in particular besides money.

I'm not on track to go there, but my job is extremely unpredictable.

I'm going to end up taking about a $40K/year pay-cut to leave Louisiana. Some things are worth more than money.

Absolutely agree.

At the same time, I'm willing to make short term sacrifices to accomplish long term goals. Living in Alabama wasn't high on my list. Colorado is nice, and I'd be happy to stay here, but I fully expect to average a new state every two years, until I'm at least 30. Easier for me to move without "cool" guns.

Yeah, and you live in the "good" part. Where I live is total trash. I just dont date because i don't want to get stuck here, I dont like the women here and they dont like me.

I lived up there for about a year and you're right. A year was all I could stand.

Yeah, this is literally the worst place I have ever been. The only thing is that I love my job and the pay is stellar. I'm buying all my class 3 toys, etc now, and when I move all ill have is rent and a car note. Want to put 1/2 down on 30-40 acres, pay it off in a year, and build a house the next year if I'm still liking fayetteville. Would love to do vtac barracade drills in my back yard.

Known as "Shrevepit" in my house, or just "The Pit". But I lived in Arkansas once long ago. Didn't see much difference other than the scenery--that and a personal property tax. I don't know what the gun laws are now but when I was there it was illegal to carry a loaded weapon in your car unless you were "traveling". Louisiana was more respectful of individual rights in that respect.

Ny is insanely beautiful, but the laws there are crap. I'm headed to Fayetteville, ar, myself. If you like big cities it wont work, but I like smaller, layed back, mellow, and lots of greenery and streams. U of A keeps the town fresh.
