Well I'm not certain about life on twin earth where I chose differently, but I'm quite happy. I still live 10 miles from where I was born in New Hampshire. I still work at the company that I interned with when I was in high school. I am now part owner.

I probably have a lot less money than if I went to California, but I have a house and family (2 children so far, we want more) and I somewhat think that if I went out west, it would be harder to have that, at least I would have probably delayed it by a decade or more, like people in cities seem to do.




You did it right. Kudos for making the smart decision -- you can't buy home.
