i'd rather happiness than money any day. i moved from industry to a back-woods country city for my kids. i'm happy. i can do things i want. there's nothing major for entertainment around here. we got movie theaters, shopping malls, stores...but nothing like houston, new york or los angeles. you'll find things to keep you occupied and entertained.

i started doing wood working. i've built the kids shelves, drawers, doll houses, tree houses and forts. i've fixed broken furniture, repaired my house and fixed bikes and such.

any way, money doesnt buy happiness. it buys stuff, which usually leads to higher bills and more expectations. higher income...more demand for stuff or better stuff. so, you'll be where you are, just higher income, higher standard of living, and more demand. i'm happy making my measly 28k/yr. i make what i have work, and work better. i fix stuff other people throw away and usually sell it or use it. i make ends meet by doing odd-jobs for under the table money.
