Hi Larsen I just turned 20 years old living in Alabama. I just went through my first break up and I don’t really feel happy where I live. I thought about wanting a fresh start when I turn 21 next year by moving out of my parents house and starting a new life by myself in a new state. I really believe that I want to move to Montana next year because I’ve always thought about living in the northwestern states like Alaska Montana Idaho all those states. I got a good amount of money that I’m saving right now. And I’m working on self improving my body by exercising and healthy eating. The only thing I’m worried about is the smaller population there. I’m nervous about moving there by myself and not being able to make friends and eventually finding love again even if I’m nice to people. It sounds a little dumb but it’s the one thing that actually pops up in my head a lot.

I'll be moving to Montana with my husband, this summer, and I'm from Washington state and he's from Oregon, so we're both like, "Wait, this is a forest? Why are all the trees so far apart?" 😂 It's a very different kind of wild than I'm used to. Reminds me a bit of Kazakhstan or Mongolia, if anything. Rolling steppe slipping into scrubby mountain forests. I think I'm going to love it.

While I appreciate your genuine love for our state, please keep some considerations in the forefront of your mind for us natives (this also applies for all of you that now want to or are moving to Montana). First of all this massive influx of people all at once is causing prices to go up on absolutely everything. They still may be cheaper than where you came from but to us it’s a fast increase in everything even though we aren’t getting raises to go along with this inflation. Homes are impossible to buy when people are moving in and buying them sight unseen and some paying cash, leaving those of us that are working hard, paying higher prices, and not getting raises completely unable to ever buy a home. Our services are extremely strained right now because we don’t have enough people that are willing to get a job, make their kids get a job, etc so our restaurants are closed because they have no staff to stay open! Traffic…..oh boy. This may not be “traffic” to many of you moving in but it is WAY worse than it has EVER been for native Montanans. and don’t drive like you used to in the city. We have manners here and let people in if they need to get in another lane--and then we wave as a thank you jester.
@jodikabalin83652 жыл бұрын
This cut me off. Bottom line….you’re relieved because it’s nothing like the city life where you came from but to us….it is becoming just that with this many people moving in. Help the strain…get jobs. If you have teenagers, make them get jobs. If you want to be a Montanan….we have a very strong work ethic….help out our community by contributing to it.
