This is my dilemma as well. I live in OKC with a pretty decent job for a guy who screwed off through college to get a PR degree.
The traffic isn't bad, but the damn place is so spread out with poor highway access in some areas it makes getting around still a PITA. My girlfriend and I would both like to move out of the state, but:
Comparing my salary to cost of living calculators in places we like, won't get me as much of an increase as I'd like, AND of course the COL will be higher. Another thing, is that even though the COL/Pay is higher, it seems to you'll have to spend a far higher % of your money on housing than we do now........also reducing your disposable income.
I work from home 2-3 days per week and could probably go full-remote in another year or two..........but replacing my salary and benefits would be basically impossible if we moved to a small town for slower lifestyle, and something happened with the current gig.
