To avoid the commute I moved to Anchorage. Now I'm living in one of the highest cost of living places in the US. Have been excessed back to Memphis and will be living on half pay, with a two day commute for work.

Trust me I feel your pain, for those contemplating the move to Anchorage, I think you summed it up pretty well; Anchorage sucks.

However, the good news is this can't last forever. In three years all this will turn around. Just hang in there.
You and UPSmistake ought to look into trading houses for a few years until things settle down.

Just a thought.
