Fight or Flight?
Trent at the Simple Dollar had a great post a few weeks ago (sometimes I have some spare time to do some trolling through the archives of my favorite sites) that struck a chord with me about a mid-twenties professional named "Kathy" that wrote to Trent for advice on whether or not she (and her boyfriend) should move out of the DC Metro area to a smaller city with a lower cost of living. Kathy seems to have a similar background to mine in that we both attended liberal arts schools in the North and we both work in IT assurance at consulting firms.
I know what you are asking yourself, "TMac, did you write to Trent as Kathy?" I wish I was, she isn't even 25 and has already knocked her masters degree out of the way and appears to have minimal debt.

Check out the post and the incredibly varied and rich comments (there are about 125). Totally worth a quick read.
As for TMac, I would love to flee the DC Metro area for greener pastures in the Northeast, but for now I am staying put so that my boo and I can establish ourselves with regards to job experience levels, cash reserve for a home purchase, etc.
