Tell me about NOVA.

I'm pretty sure Denver is a whole time zone away from the Midwest. I know a few people who have lived there and they have said it's kinda lame for young people. 320 days of sunshine isn't bad, though.

+1 for finding the job first. I made a rule that I wouldn't have a commute over 45 min when I lived there. I kept most of mine under 30 minutes, which helped massively.

Also, downsize what you think you need on living space. Spend your free time out of the house doing things. We went from 2900 sqft in Ashburn to 1900 in walking distance of things and are much better off... even with one more person in our family now. All a young single guy needs is a bed, shitter, and beer fridge.

1900 sqft? That's a fucking palace to me lol. You can do with way less than even that. Toni, myself and the dog make use of about 700 sqft. Really, it's all about how it's laid out but i'm sure you'll figure that out. Main point of mine here was to not dismiss "smaller" places out of hand until you see them.
