We were paid $10,000 to move from Austin to Arkansas. It wasn't perfect, but we have no regrets.

• My self-employed husband and I moved from Austin to Arkansas after being offered $10,000 to do so. 
• We had great access to nature, and our cost of living was lower, but we didn't love where we lived.
• Living in Arkansas helped us figure out what we wanted and I have no regrets about my time there. 

Nearly every time I mentioned my impending move to Arkansas, I was asked, "Why there?"
