Well I have come to the conclusion that it is my time to get the hell out of Ft. Lauderdale. Ya'll have been listening to me BITCH for the last few weeks about how I need to change my life, well...I think my house burning to the ground might have been a sign, I dunno!
I have spent the last two days in Hernando, MS which is about 14 miles South of Memphis,TN. The people that I have been staying with have been so good to me it is rediculous. They have made me feel at home to the point that they don't want me to leave and I don't really want to leave here either! Keep in mind, in my line of work I can do my job any where in the country, all I need is a phone line and a computer and I am set.
This is where I need some help/opinions from ya'll. I have decided that I am probably going to move to Memphis. If you have read any of my blogs you know about my love for music. What better of a place to be than Memphis, TN, the birthplace of Rock n Roll? The other thing that has attracted me to Memphis is that they have been revitalizing the downtown area. You can buy a 3 bdrm 3 bath house here for 120-140k and have a 10-15% gain on your investment within 3 years. (Wow, I would actually be here before everyone else figured it out!). The final selling point on Memphis for me is that it is centrally located. I can be in Greenville, MS visiting Chris in two hours. I can be at the gulf coast in 4 hours, I can be watching the Cardinals in St. Louis in under 5 hours. Gimme a break,?!
Well I guess this is where I need some help/decisions, what do ya'll think about TN, my most important factor is the economical gain!
Thank you to every one that has showed me support, it is nice to know ya'll care so much! Thank you again!

Wow, Memphis seems like a no-brainer! From what you've said, I would totally say 'Go for it!'. Is there anything negative about Memphis or is it like Plato's Republic with collared greens and ochre? |

It sounds like you've subconsciously made the decision already...and that's great! You sound excited about it...and it's good to be exciting about things again. I hope it works out for you. |

I would go for it. If I had the same flexibility with my job, I'd be getting a house down there too. |
