Step 8
Try, especially, to make a few friends in the area you'd like to move to. Find out things like how far it is to the hospital and the grocery store. Are there restaurants nearby or will you have to cook your own meals all of the time? Can you adapt to country living after a lifetime of city convenience? How about your kids? Will they be able to handle not having a mall ten minutes away? Perhaps they can, if they have a few horses to ride!
