Every day we make a dozen choices about whether to maintain the status quo or make a change in our lives.

I just happened to be born in what became one of the highest cost of living areas of our country. It would have been incredibly hard both financially and psychologically for me to have attempted to remain there.

I chose to move away for myself, for my family, and for the quality of life that I could sustain elsewhere.

Please explain to me why I, or anyone, should have expected others to financially support my decision to stay in the place I was born, should I have made that choice.
