I moved from RI to SW Missouri for exclusively financial reasons and people down here always ask if salaries are higher since rent is double or more. And then I tell them I make more in MO because graduate degrees are fewer and farther between down there.

But I still miss the f*ck out of New England. Tryna get my money right and move back closer st least.

South West Missouri is just a different world. But hit up Johnson Shut-ins and camp in the Ozarks while you're there.
