You and I agree on this. Many people don't and will take the lower salary to live in Denver.McPeachy said:LanderPoke said:I don't know if there is much truth to this, but OKOrediggerPoke said:Good!

Ya, agree. In the eye of the beholder only.
You dangle $500,000 to me to live in Laramie and work, versus $750,000 to live in Denver and work - you can stick the $250,000 extra where the sun doesn't shine. For a plethora of reasons!

Is that really common? Most people I know (mainly friends and former colleagues, to be fair) who take jobs in Denver only take them because they're significant raises. Sadly, there's also where most of offers aimed at me have been as well. It's definitely tempting when somebody dangles a $30-40k raise under your nose, but when you realize you're going to spend an extra 90 minutes in traffic every day to get that money, it's suddenly not attractive at all anymore.

At some point, the desire to bundle up and get my ass kicked in the driveway in February will cease to exist. LOL!

That is in my plan as well :lol: . I love Laramie and Wyoming but the cold and wind can be brutal when I can't even walk my dog for a week straight during the winter.

pansy. Winters are great. Lots of snow to play in. Skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing. Tons of fun to be had in the winter. MY favorite winter sport... basketball lol'PokeForLife said:OrediggerPoke said:McPeachy said:There will be a day in my life where Laramie will be the "second home" for only summer and fall, and I will live somewhere that I don't have to shovel.

Summer and fall in Laramie can't be beaten. Perfect. Winter can be brutal and spring is just annoying some years.
