May we introduce ourselves

[MANUMIT]

I'd rather be dirt-poor, working job to job, living in an RV in Wyoming than material rich anywhere else...in fact that's exactly what we did.

Now, because we were willing to do that instead of waiting for things to "be perfect", we are better off financially, familially and locationally...

BTW who pissed in your corn flakes Hank?  If you want to cash in your Wyo chips, I'm sure thousands of people on either coast are looking to sell property...for pennies on the FRN.

Manumit and I are on the same page here:  A person can get by here and have a better future, than anywhere else in this country.
 
There is always folks who piss in the corn flakes.

Not to pour water on your float... but Wyoming is experiencing a jump in unemployment just like the rest of this once-great nation.
.
As of today... Wyoming has a 7.4 unemployment rate... up from the 6.8 percent rate a month earlier. That's the highest rate of unemployment in over 20 years.
.
The Wyoming National Guard has lots of vacancies for positions in Kuwait, Iraq and AfganVietNamistan, but otherwise... not much going on.

Well... we do want people to come here with their eyes open.

I suppose it's a matter of balance.

Paul, you are so smooth!
Yes, I'd rather know everything that anyone can tell us. I don't think there's much you can say to get us to NOT become a Wyomingite. (is that the term?)

Jared, Thanks for the info on IT places. I checked them out. Yes, I can do remote services.
We're looking at any and all options. If I can't find a job, we are willing to strike out on our own. As far as where we'd like to be, we seem to be leaning toward the northeast corner.
Thanks to all for any information you'd like to give us. We know that there is no perfect place, but Wyoming seems to fit our idea of what we're looking for. We too have been wrestling with making a decision on whether to stay where we are or make the big move. It's hard too when you have a big family to consider and how it will impact them, but it's getting easier every day. We have a nice little property out in the country and family and friends that would be hard to leave, but we want to do what is best for our own family.
