Buy a house. More space. Family friendly community. Outdoors!

I am sick of the city, I pay too much in rent and I want to be near my family and the mountains and pay way less

I am a lawyer that mostly deals with pre-litigation parts of lawsuits. Really no reason to ever be in court for me. My partners made it clear that nobody is coming into the office until the end of the year. If we wanted to rent the proverbial log cabin in Montana, we were able to do so—as long as we have working internet. Now there is some talk about letting folks like me work remotely indefinitely. I love Chicago, but there is no benefit to me being here. I am renting a two bedroom in Colorado for the same price as my one bedroom in Chicago and I get some killer views of the mountains and bike trails for dayyyyyyys! I am not doing it as a cost-cutting measure, but more of a quality of life improvement.

Im moved here for the beach which is now over crowded.
