I love Tennessee and would probably eventually consider moving back here again after leaving, but I'm 28 years old. I'm married and we have a son right now and I make well over 100k per year. I can get a job anywhere in the country probably easily and just feel like there's more out there in this life. I mean I love where I live at now and like I said, I know I'll probably eventually end up coming back, but between my wife's family living 35 miles away here in Tennessee and driving us nuts to me getting bored with the area, I just feel like I want to move. Pigeon Forge is one of my favorite vacationing areas, but it's not like we don't go there all the time anyway and it's almost getting old.
I think I want to move somewhere close to an ocean, but close to the country. I'm thinking maybe somewhere in Florida. I want to live near the cornfields, but I want to be able to drive 30 minutes and be in bumper to bumper 6 lanes of traffic, hotels, restaurants, fast food places, malls, amusement parks, etc. I would like to live within an hour or so from the beach. I'm thinking Florida is the place I'm looking for. I'm just getting really stale right now and just keep looking back and saying "is this really the only area I ever want to experience in my life?" I feel like I'm getting old and my life is passing me by. I've been living in fast forward every since I graduated high school and it's almost like I've missed out on the enjoyment part. I always said I wanted to look back on my life and see accomplishments and I really am proud of what I've done; especially considering I am not even 30 yet, but on the other hand, I haven't really got to sit and catch my breath and "enjoy" my life.
Maybe I could just consider buying a vacation home in Florida? But then again, I don't want to pay $1,500 per month rent on something that's going to be used once or twice a year. I don't know, but it's been really depressing me here lately. I'm in about the best shape of my life but I still feel like I'm in the last "young" years of my life. I worked a ton of OT this year trying to make more money and ended up earning way more than any of the previous years, but it felt like it made 2013 fly by and I guess I just need a big, long break.
