I moved to Denver in 1981, five years into a boom period. Seven of us shared a three-bedroom apartment. Cost of living high then and pay was low, but we made it work. Thirty-six years later and I have always said that moving to Colorado was the best thing I've ever done. Living the dream! People still come here for the same reason I did: a chance to do better, be better, live better. It will happen if you work for it. Thank you, Colorado!Adds Scott:
Everything in life is about choices. That's it. If you can't afford to live here, you move to Texas, or Iowa, or Idaho. I don't live in New York City even though that's where I want to live. You can't stop the economy or make someone pay you more. If you are experienced and really good at what you do, maybe you don't need a salary, maybe you need to start your own company. Then you can pay yourself what you want.Concludes Chris:
This city and state have so much beauty and serenity. A lot of people from other big cities can't and won't appreciate it here....I drive around and still say out loud from pure joy, "I can't believe I'm in f**king Colorado."Why do you live in Colorado? What will you be doing today? Keep reading for some suggestions.
