Guy from NJ here. My wife & I are looking to move to NH in the Spring, as part of the free state project. I'm 49, she is a few yrs younger. Both college grads. No kids, we do have a blind toy poodle and two small birds (cockatiels). I have never been a big risk taker, so this whole proposition is pretty daunting - coming up without jobs (or health care), finding a place to live, etc. We are figuring on renting a place in the Manchester area, and if things work out buy a place after that. We should be able to purchase a home with cash, and we have alot of savings on top of that. So most folks are saying I shouldn't be so worried.
