After reading your other posts that came after mine so I will add some thoughts. Living in an economically dead area of the country will poison your outlook on life. Asked Greg1959 how he is liking life now he is not in a economically blighted area???? There are a lot of good people and areas in this great country.
My wife and I both have relatives that live in Eastern Kentucky and South-West, West Virginia. We visit the area about every 3-4 years. The economic outlook for that entire area is not good. The sad thing I have noticed is the people are actually Proud of being poor. They embrace it like it is some kind of an accomplishment. A better work ethic, a little better education/training, and some ambition would get the majority of them into a better life. That seems to have been replaced with the goal of getting a government check. Live the high life on Uncle Sam's disability checks/hand outs. I get mad every time I go. You have to want a better life enough to improve yourself. No one else is going to "give" it to you for no effort.
So if your wife is willing to move than I would retire ASAP and head out for greener pastures. Even other areas of Kentucky would be better than where your currently at. Your wife's seniority would transfer in state too.
Plus sell your property while it is worth some thing. My wife's Aunt has a nice home in WV. Ten years ago it was worth $100K. Now with the mines dead it is currently worth under $50K. She has had it on the market now for over two year and can not get any reasonable offers. The sad part is she turned down $103K in 2007 for the house/acreage.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
