It is indeed hard out there, life sure has speedbumps.
Think about setting yourself up with work and a location to do more of what you like to do.
Just before I got into my career, I went thru a big book called "Places Rated". It went thru all the major/semi-major metro areas of the country and rated them all on many categories - schools, medical care, recreation, weather, home prices, crime, population density, etc.
For me it came down to Seattle, Portland OR, and Boise. I chose Portland - very glad I made decision. I love fishing and Oregon is quite good - trout salmon, steelhead, bass. The Deschutes River is world class and just over Mt. Hood couple hours away. The Oregon coast is also only 2 hours away, very nice.
Anyways, be smart and calculated about your life decisions, will definitely pay good dividends for the rest of your life.
