TIRED

Cut back those expenses. Take some of the financial pressure off of yourself.

Reading through this for the 1st time..... it sounds like living there is in your comfort zone but IMHO it would do you some good to look in other areas. Sticking in a locale that has lost a lot of industry tends to be a financial trap, regardless of what you try. There may be a lot of new businesses now, but if they can't pay well, then there is little future.
