I am hoping that I'll be able to segue into one of those locationless jobs someday. Or, barring that, hit the lottery so that the pesky job detail doesn't matter anymore. great post, very good way to think about these.

I would live where there are plenty of jobs so that I can have a job that has high job security score (www.jobsecurityscore.com). In last 5 years I was laid of twice in jobs that I thought were safe from unemployment risk. But the economy has been rough and companies laid off a bunch of people as the first thing to cut costs. In my opinion, job security is more important than pay, as long the pay is not outrageously low and quality of life is above average. –A very pertinent question.

So after a lot of research, we moved out of New York City. We moved to Madison, Wisconsin. I write a lot about how we chose Madison, but the bottom line is that we looked for the city with the lowest cost of living that we could be happy in.
