A friend is trying to convince me to move to Indiana [View All]

[rox63]

One of my best friends is planning to relocate to the Muncie, Indiana area in the next year. We both currently both live in eastern Massachusetts. She went to Ball State University in her younger years, and still has friends out there. Her main reason is that the cost of living is much lower out there. And I have to admit, the cost of housing is many times less than where I live. I could buy a house in that area for less than the 20% down payment for a comparable house here.

I was born and raised in MA, and have lived here my whole life. She was born and raised in rural PA, and has lived in several eastern and mid-America states. I'm reluctant to relocate for a number of reasons, even though the economic incentives look attractive. After all, I currently live in what is possibly the bluest state in the country, the only place where same-sex marriage is legal. I have a long history here, including family and friends.

Opinions, anyone?
