Most people I know moved there had a very hard time moving back (Job, home, other things the tie you down) so it’s not that easy to just pick up and move back trust me, especially if you have family and the longer you are away the harder it will be to get back..

This can be very true, I should have pointed that out also.

I have found that, once kids hit about 10-12 years old, moving long distances gets much more difficult. They get social ties, you get social ties, they stop viewing moving as an adventure, on and on. It’s still possible to move, but you risk them viewing you as Satan.
