      @@rangermark-npsnevada9316 You should be able to live pretty well off of that when you're just getting started, but it depends on how much you will spend getting up, but it sounds like you will have a comfortable nest egg, depending on how much you budget for when you get up here.

    A co-worker said he moved up in the winter - drove the AlCan. He said because it was so cold, anything that was plastic froze so hard it broke into pieces from the not so smooth ride.

    • @alaska_realtor
      @alaska_realtor  2 роки тому +1

      That sounds pretty similar to what other folks have told me. You definitely need to make some rigging changes if you're driving the Alcan in the winter!

    We are planning to move there in seven months. We have done a lot of research for about three years. Was gonna move there in 2021 but COVID happened. But it has given us plenty of time to think and organize. We have jobs that are transferable, we will be renting, we think that is the smarter thing to do, so we have some time to look around and get a idea of were in Alaska we want to live forever and what kind of home we want. We have decided to sale all of our stuff in our home and we will fly there, so we will just be starting fresh and buy new things, it will be the easiest for us to do. Alaska feels like home to us for sure and we love cold weather. We are down to earth folks who love fishing, hunting and growing our own food, we also love hiking. We are so happy and can't wait to make Alaska our home!

    I grew up in WA and have family in Petersburg AK that I visited when I was 15: I grew up with parents who love the outdoors and naturally fell in love with AK. My husband grew up in the mountains of CO and he missed the cold and the mountains. He has 3 years left in the military and we have been in GA for 9 years. So it’s been a LONG time since we’ve lived in a cold climate but AK is the dream though we’ve had family members tell us our kids are going to get eaten by bears if we go to AK…. (New fear unlocked). BUT: What are your tips for moving a family with several young children from the Deep South to the far North?

    • @shannoninalaska

      I was born and raised in Georgia. Then lived in Florida for 33 years. I moved outside of Anchorage 2 years ago. You'll be fine.
      But bears and moose..... with young children you definitely want to use caution. Kids in my neighborhood run the streets all the time though.

      Nothing to it really. I took the AlCan Hwy. Drove by myself from Florida in a huge U-Haul, and used an auto transport to tow my SUV. You just take one mile at a time and enjoy the adventure and sights along the way. I would love to take that trip again one day. But the cost of gas was in the thousands for that long of a trip (from Orlando) so be prepared to pay 🤑🤑🤑😬
