Florida is pretty nice

While you can appreciate it now do you ever think what it might have been like if you lived in a nice community and never moved? How different your life might be today?[/quote]

I can only really speak for me. I think I got exposure to cultures and experiences and people and that helped me grow as a person, even though I was a kid at the time. Easier to learn a new language when you’re a kid, too.

I feel really lucky now to have had that growing up. When I was a kid, I used to wish I could be as lucky as all those kids who stayed put in one town and grew up their whole lives there. Now I see how sheltered they were. It’s an opportunity that not many people have in their lives to move to different cities, for me different country. You just can’t get that kind of lesson by reading a book or watching a movie. You live it.

When you think about the expense in moving w/a family multiple times, it can actually be cost prohibitive for some people. Perhaps that’s why some people choose to stay put. They have no choice. They are trapped.

My own observation is that kids who grew up, studied or lived overseas turn out to be the best adjusted adults with a perspective most suitable to today’s globalized world.

American or International schools abroad have high academic standards and provide better education that stateside public schools.

Compared to Connecticut or New Jersey, Florida is practically a different country.

Many kids from the Northeast spend the summer in Florida visiting their grandparents.

Sorry but you got that wrong. Kids in the Northeast visit their grandparents over December and Spring Breaks. In the summer they go to the shore and their grandparents leave Florida to spend the Summer up in the Northeast with their children and grandchildren. No one goes to FLA in the Summer if they dont have to. Trust me, I lived that one.

As for all the other observations, all the people I grew up in my nice sheltered upper middle class existence appear to have succeeded far beyond all you well traveled, well adjusted people. Not sure what the correlation is the but I’m just sayin’…………..

OT: Akula, you can’t be serious! You sound like Fed. Govm’t/military. IMHO, it’s a GREAT time to strike a deal on a place near DC! Just got back from there and found that suburban RE markets within 40 mi. of DC are quite depressed.[/quote]

I wonder how real estate markets that are dependent on government jobs will do when the Federal government cuts back, as it eventually will (whenever that is).
