Comment on Ask HN: What's the best place in the U.S. to live and work cheaply?

Comments

I work remotely from home in the middle of Nebraska. I get paid a SF-like salary but pay little in rent in comparison.

yes, this is good. I can relate. what worries me is how tired you are to that opportunity... unless you are the absolute best

I would definitely suggest putting some extra effort into networking if in that position. Fly out to SF for some conferences and use Twitter like a maniac. It'll pay off if your job goes south and you have to end up looking for something else. You'll probably have to move in that case though.

Absolutely. I've been to both NYC and SF in the last 12 months.

I moved out of a larger tech center where I had a on-location job to where I am now (back to where I was raised). However, I didn't move until after working from home for a year and knowing I was protected for the long term.
