A little about me, in the past year I have donated my liver to my mother and got married. While in recovery from donating (both of us very healthy, she wouldn't of lived to see my wedding if not for surgery) I decided that I wanted to make a big change. Growing up on LI and working construction has left me realizing that I will have to work for the rest of my life to live a very minimal life. It is just too overpriced here and I don't want to raise my kids here when we go have them. I would love to move somewhere such as upstate NY or the southern US. I know it is a huge decision and we haven't taken it lightly but we have been struggling on where to start and what to do. I have an associates degree and have been working as am HVAC mechanic since after college while my wife is a clerk typist in a school. I would love to know how to start planning this and where a good destination would be, to live a comfortable life and have a bit of property to stretch out after being in queens for the past 3 years. We don't have much money saved and would love to get out as fast as we can. thanks in advance
