Moral of the story: Don't become an actuary.

Yeah, I was pretty naive, but I already cast my lot with this profession, so what are you gonna do?
I've "diversified" now into computer programming with an actuarial bent, but that's a very small subset of a very small set. |

My sentiments exactly, Indy. I often tell people if I could have my current job in Minnesota, but live in our last Colorado home, I would never consider another job. Except it would be a long commute

Castle Rock and environs is about to close to heaven as you're going to find in the Continental 48.

We were on the other side of Denver, in Longmont. Not as pretty of a setting as Castle Rock. But the best run town I've ever lived in, all the major roads were built with growth in mind. In the middle of the drought (around 2003), every city around us was on mandatory water restrictions, but Longmont never went beyond voluntary restrictions. Any developer who wants to build in the city has to deed 3 acre-feet of water over to the city for every acre in the development. One hour from our front door to Rocky Mountain National Park. We'd go up there for a picnic, hike, or camping trip five or six times every year. 30 minutes from Boulder, 45 minutes from downtown Denver. About the right concentration of mormons (about 3%) for my taste, keeps the wards a reasonable size. Close to our families in Utah. |

I prefer NW area like Lakewood or Golden. Highlands Ranch isn't too bad but crowded now.
