Welcome everybody!! This is sewingdove in Riverton, central part of the state. Living in Wy is like what living in Co was when i grew up there. slow paced, rural as you want, 4-H, fairs, neighbors, outdoors activity. Now i hate hitting that Co line when traveling, so tense and busy. My words of advice are about worrying about insurance. I had a heart attack in 99 and DH was injured on the job, oh gee, suddenly no income, no power, no insurance. Best thing that ever happened to us. Because we had to, we learned to do without it all, have continued to learn about herbs and alternative medicine, we have insurance now but seldom ever use it. Just take care of ourselves. I did plan and do any needed surgeries, glasses, dental work etc. this year because we plan on me retiring ASAP. AM looking forward to not jumping through their hoops again, What i keep seeing in my head is the dust bowl days when people didn't move until they had to, then had no resources to do so. Many places you will never sell a house, and will eventually lose it anyway. ANd by then will not be able to relocate. Abandon the impossible to reach for the dream. And our pioneet ancestors piled it all in a wagon and headed west. They had to have resources for 6 months of living needs but off they went. No doctors, and they thought spiritual support was more important. Be realistic, things are going to get much worse, circumstances are only going to deteriorate, go while it is still possible. But focus on what your spiritual direction points you to. That is most important. God bless and speed you.
