A fair question which I get a lot. My parents are 80 and not doing great physically, and live a mile away from me and my family. They see my kids at least 4-5 times a week, it's very healthy and beneficial for my kids and my parents. My wife is a stay-at-home mom, and spends a fair amount of time running errands with/for my parents. They'd be completely screwed if my family and I left. But I know exactly what it's costing me. I'll retire several years later than I would if I lived near Charlotte, which would by our choice. My retirement will be years shorter.
