Having moved 17 times, (3 times since age 30, and another coming in a few weeks), there is tremendous opportunity cost to moving. On the plus side, I am confident that I want to live in coastal California. I am confident I can make friends wherever I am and I enjoy a large network of friends. But I am tired of discovering the best pizza, best grocers, best place to get gas, best routes and detours to work. I am tired of my kids being stressed out in a new school, my wife looking for an optimal work-life balance. I wish I could raise my kids within 1000 miles of any family. I am glad for having lived a varied life so far, but in some ways I am amazed how unvaried varied can be, and the opportunity cost of that variety.
