Positives
1. 1 Mile from the beach
2. School systems are excellent
3. CT pays higher than most other areas in the country (due to cost of living)
4. 529 benefits
5. LIS and CT river
6. land and space without living far from "1st world amenities" .. i own 3 acres and back up to 25 acres of state land, but i can drive 3 mins for gas, walk the kids to school and drive <10 mins to the grocery store or <20 mins to any large chain store.

i always think about relocation, but when i weigh the positives vs the negatives... we always elect to stay.
