Sure are troubling times to say the least.. I thought you moving to Missouri was just for a situation like we may be going to go into. You are in a good place..compared to most people.. Most are living paycheck to paycheck with loans to pay.
Where would you go? Texas? .. builderofcastles makes some good points ..Cities will get crazy.. Moving south another good idea.. But being around like minded people and family is paramount.. Hang in there you got a gold mine of a homestead..
