I have to say your analogy on relocation is spot on. But i don't agree with your conclusion. People have responsibilities to the people in there lives. Saying you should just do whats good for in the end is a cop out you have to compromise.

Extremely helpful articule. My son who is a Division One athlete gave up a full-ride scholarship to come back to his roots. His goal is to re-create his success and do it in a fashion that supports his beliefs and strong character.

We taught him well!

Michael Jordan never had to jump ship and team up with an all-star team to win several championships. I heard Dwayne Wade say that nobody can win on their own…that's obvious, but Jordan made his team better and didn't need to bring in a bunch of allstars.

What a timely article. I am currently in the process of leaving my hometown and a comfortable job for the Wild, Wild West. It is going to be difficult four sure but I have to be true to myself and I cannot work a dead end job with no chance of payroll for the rest of my life and somehow view that as fulfilling. For some people they value safety and security but not me I value challenge and adventure. Some people in my family think that I am crazy and maybe I am but don't care it is something that I have to do.

LeBron will not pay taxes in Florida. Florida does not have an income tax so the money was part of the equation also.

$133,000 more is an interesting stat Penelope! Thanks for that!

Do you know if the same holds true if you are already making say, $500,000?

Just wondering what the income threshold level is. thnx!

Penelope,

You know I write about happiness and a happy life (two different things by my definition) and I've struggled with your theory (like many) that contentment and an interesting life are somewhat exclusive of one another. This post is starting to sway me. I think this question not only needs to be asked in terms of where we live, but how we live, particularly for creatives.

And I would add that the other compliment a reader can give in addition to comments is backlinks. ;)
