    So what you are saying is that it is impossible to make a living in West Virginia, but cost of living is so low you can retire there if you made it big time elsewhere.

    That’s not the sales pitch you think it is

      I couldn’t care less about WVA and am not trying to “sell” anything.

      Cost of living there is cheap which makes it attractive. I live in Loudoun County, VA and it’s fucking expensive. WVA is less than an hour away so I see why other people head out there when their lifestyle allows it.

        The low cost of living doesn’t make WV attractive. The low cost of living is a side effect of being such an unattractive place to live unless you are independently wealthy. There are no job prospects, no areas large rnough for anything larger than self-sustainig family farming, and the only places flat enough to build houses are flood plains that level communities every decade.

        If you manage to build an eight figure retirement account, then i can see why it would be tempting to retire there, but at that point you can retire just about anywhere.

          You should go knock on their doors and tell them that then since you’re the expert in these matters
