I've always wanted to live in Colorado, ever since I was a kid. I'm a big outdoorsy person so I think I'd love it. I found out recently my parents are moving to CO, in the Telluride area. Once they get settled in I'll be in the same boat as you. Keep the life here, or pack up and start over in Colorado, where I've always wanted to live. The parents moving there would make it possible because I'd have a place to stay until I found a place of my own...

I lived in VT for a few ski seasons and worked at Killington. The pay sucked, but I got to snowboard every day, and I am really glad I did it. I never stayed over the summer though, I always came back to my house in PA. You will never beat the feeling of standing at the top of the mountain in the morning, looking down at a freshly snow covered trail. Now if I am feeling down or frustrated with something, I think about that feeling, and it cheers me up immediately. So few people get to do what makes them 100% happy. If you can swing it, do it. If you move on later in life, you will always have that experience to remember.

I did it. After my divorce i sold evgerything and moved to the south, only to get back into IT. I am currently saving until maybe March to take 6-8 months off and hike the Appalachian Trail. I figure after that i will have a good perspective on my future.

do it. pull the trigger and move.

the mere fact that you thought about it as a possibility means something in the back of your mind says the positives outweigh the negatives.

the only thing you're fearing right now is the unknown, mainly what happens if you run out of $.

sell everything. live out of 1 suitcase.

the only thing worse than failure is never trying
