Most of us were born and raised in the State we moved from. We had and may still have many family members still living in that State. Family and jobs are strong anchors keeping most people in a geographical location. We select a location for our retirement that better suits our lifestyles in retirement. The job anchor no longer exisits and the family group has been more widespread as our children meet partners from other areas of the country or job opportunities removes them from the home State. Grandchildren although a wonderful addition to our lives, they too soon start to move into their own lives. They want to be with friends, participating with their sports and than there are the boyfriends and college. Familys today are much more mobile, so we can enjoy their visits as we see so often with the mid winter breaks from HS and colleges. It's easier to bash our origins a little bit. Life is good.
