All I can say, we are not Alaskan.
My wife has never ever wanted to move anywhere, wanted to stay here on the farm and die here.
Until she fell in love with Alaska.
And on her OWN, set a time line for us to move, hell or high water, and try semi retire early and see if we can make ends meet while we still are young enough to sport around the state.... I"m in full agreement too FWIW.
I"d say that the wife making the decision, says a LOT... IMHO.
I'd have done it in the 80s if I could have talked her into it....
