You can always take trips to the coast if you love the ocean.
Another consideration is taxes .. no state income tax, that in itself will save you anywhere from ~5% (look up the NY state income tax brackets for your tax filing status). Plus I imagine the cost of living is lower depending on location, etc.
Lots to consider, but I suggest before taking the plunge to start looking for jobs, maybe take a trip or two to SD and check it out, etc.
Yes. And if you move into a smaller town, the housing market is dirt cheap. When I decided to move, I found a house that I liked. I had been saving when I lived in Tennessee to buy a house. Had saved enough for a respectable down payment. The house I bought here cost me less than the down payment on a house in Tennessee. And I have land too. It’s amazing.
I really enjoyed visiting Rapid City in the summer but I'm concerned about winter as I'm sick of Midwest winters as it is and would prefer less or no snow. Plus the lack of an international airport would make travel a hassle.
Based Kristi. Proud to live in SD
this^ SD=common sense🇺🇸
Are they’re job opportunities in SD? I’d go there in a nanosecond but hubby is worried about finding work.
The job market is crazy good. Just vote republican lol
From New York...believe me I would never vote blue. I’d miss the ocean though. I guess there’s large lakes there that would compensate?
I know just joshing lol
There are some lakes, but there are TONS in Minnesota which is pretty close.

Large lakes in South Dakota? Check another map! :)
East river has a lot of manufacturing. Sioux Falls would be a good bet.
What type of manufacturing facility? ...

this company has been advertising a lot, and their ads sound conservative. https://www.kelolandemployment.com/vj/cnc-machinist-7-500-hiring-bonus/159873
