Yup.. I miss definitely escaped the insanity of Silicon Valley in Commiefornia last November.
Took an $85k+ pay cut to move out to a BEAUTIFUL 40 acre ranch in Middle Tennessee. And I STILL have more $$ in my pocket at the end of every month than I had back in crazy land.
I shoot & hunt n my woods, fish in my pond, ride dirt bikes and horses with my kids. We have a massive 1000+sqft garden my wife planted that we get awesome produce out of.
I work remotely for a company in MI. So I rarely have to go anywhere..
It's GREAT.. We're working through the plans to build a chicken coup. I have 4 kids, so we go through 9 eggs every morning. Some of the locals around here keep giving us their home-grown, free-range (REAL free range, not the nonsense they define that by out on the West Coast) eggs and we LOVE them!
Homemade smoked sausage too! People here are SOOOOOO much more friendly than any city I ever lived in. It's such a breath of fresh air.
