While my hubs and I teach abroad, and most likely will stay overseas until our kids graduate because they attend our private int'l school, we still sometimes dream about moving back to the States to FIRE.
In our dream, we want a beautiful, smallish town that is affordable, walkable, fun, outdoorsy, with great public schools. We could potentially go anywhere in the US, even though our family is in Arizona and Kansas. We are not crazy about either of these states. We love Colorado, but have yet to find that perfect town. Does it exist? Not only in CO, but anywhere, USA? We have heard wonderful things about Bend, Oregon, but also hear that it is rapidly expanding.
Suggestions?
