Have you stayed local your entire life?

**Otters27** · 11-16-16, 09:19 PM

Better to stay local. Moving all around all the time has caused me to not have friends becuase I am sick of making the effort to meet new people. Especially the neighbor folks that judge you on how good the lawn and landscaping look.

I moved every 2-3 years being in the military....from Oklahoma City to Iceland to Germany to Norway to points in between. Loved every second of it and wouldn't change it for anything

**lonegambler23** · 11-16-16, 09:35 PM

man i moved to arizona from ct for a job, wasnt what i expected, very tough to meet people unless your from work or school. i have to wait til i can transfer back, home is where the heart is

**newguy** · 11-16-16, 09:36 PM

Lived in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and back to Florida. Wouldn't change anything now but it was tough in beginning. If your taking new job - look at the people you are interviewing with / workforce your applying to. If all seem to be around your age and as much like someone you can hang with - that's all you can ask for.

Lived in Atlanta my whole life, with spurts in MS (Hotty Toddy) and FLA. Have traveled internationally a lot and love it. If i move it will only be to live in NYC, Chitown, or Europe.

**GHSCREW** · 11-16-16, 09:54 PM

yea its weird. I feel so comfortable here but also feel sheltered. Being here for 24 years gets you in a frame of mind that everything is always one way.

Sanchez Europe is freakin awesome man. Will probably going back to the UK and Ireland next year. Huge Soccer fan and got to see Stoke and Watford play at home. Can't wait to go back.

Lonegambler I feel ya too. I'm in the banking industry so its a lot of people older than me. Gotta feel whether or not the company is worth the jump to another state

I moved to another country. If moving around some is calling you, follow it. You never know what you might find. Years later, I doubt you will ever say it was the stupidest thing you've ever done, and you might just wind up saying it was the best. You won't regret giving it a shot and you can always go back if it doesn't work it. Don't let time pass you by.

I also lived in Krakow, Poland for two Summers and it was one of my favorite cities...awesome people

**reigle9** · 11-16-16, 10:40 PM

Was bored one day, got on craigslist to see what kind of places were in south jersey. Two weeks later I was living on the beach and was rotting in the poker room. It's nice to be able to whatever the fukk you want.

I don't have the patience for other languages, or I'd do it.

San Francisco my whole 50 years. I've traveled pretty much around the world. Would not be able to live anywhere else.

You can live anywhere you want despite what cnn tells you.

**thetrinity** · 11-17-16, 07:53 AM

Pittsburgh my whole life, have traveled a lot but hard to imagine living anywhere else.

**daneblazer** · 11-17-16, 08:31 AM

Most people live within 15-20 miles from where they were born, or something crazy like that...and it's been like that through most of mankinds existence

**jjgold** · 11-17-16, 08:35 AM

most people tend to go back home even after they leave for a while

**StatePenn** · 11-17-16, 08:46 AM

Military brat, lived all over the country. Adult life college and beyond lived in PA, NYC, DC area, SC, FL, and GA. The worst were SC, FL, GA, but great times in NYC and DC area but back in PA but visit both DC and NYC often both within a 1.5 to 2 hour drive.

Buddy lives beside the stadium. You play poker?

**Cuse0323** · 11-17-16, 09:32 AM

Unfortunately, I've lived off the same road in different places my entire life. I want nothing more to get out of this cesspool of a City. I didn't have the balls to put my password in to put 500 on Memphis ML last night. It would have been a nice start.

Not sure what cnn has to do with anything. I chose to live here. Best city in the world in my opinion.

I equate SF with a Killary vote, which equals CNN.

I drink a lot lol.

**eidolon** · 11-17-16, 11:52 AM

I always encourage people to move to other countries. There is a lot out there.

**RudyRuetigger** · 11-17-16, 12:04 PM

If you have to piss really bad, you are Russian

And while you do, European

But otherwise American.

**GunShard** · 11-17-16, 07:58 PM

I lived in the Denver metro area most of my life. Good here.

Man I fell off the turnip truck on this one....I'm as far from that stat as can be

**ThaWoj** · 11-17-16, 09:02 PM

Lived in Chicago my whole life but now in Southeast Louisiana for the last 6 years.

The 2 cultures are worlds apart. I like and dislike stuff from both.

It's always good to have more experiences.

See I think moving to another state is a big jump. I'd think another country would be insane, at least the initial culture shock
