(23,156 posts)But the probability I'll move elsewhere stems from the fact that I only moved to my present location five years ago, and have never intended to live the rest of my life here.
I am not attracted to the Sunbelt at all. Heck, with global warming even someone currently in northern Minnesota just needs to stay put and balmy weather will arrive before we know it.
Where I end up is likely to depend on where my kids are in five or ten years, since I'll probably relocate to live near one or the other of them. But if they move to places I don't want to live in, forget it. I'll either stay where I am or simply go someplace else that I want to live in.
Probably the most important thing for me is that I've lived in several different parts of the country as an adult. That means I don't have terribly strong ties anywhere, quite unlike someone who's lived in the same state or even city their entire life.
