Moving Out of State?

Are you tired of the politics in your state?

Are you ready to move from the rat-race of clogged highways, long commutes, and overcrowded cities to a more rural location where you can have plenty of room to spread your wings?

Are you being offered a better job position requiring a major move?

Are you retiring to a new area and ready to put up your feet and work a lot less?

Great! Congratulations on your upcoming move.

My intention is to provide a short series to help you determine what is necessary in order to make it a successful move instead of getting so stressed that you end up having a heart attack that throws all your plans right in the trashcan.

A number of websites provide the following statistics:

9–10% of Americans move each year.

Less than 1% of Americans move from one state to another.

Interestingly, in 2021, there are 50% less moves than there were 50–60 years ago.

And this particular site states that the average American moves 11–12 times in their lifetime.
