Where should you move, given what you will not give up?
The search asks for a destination. The decision asks which of two or three real places, including stay, is better supported after money and constraints are written down.
Argumont is decision support. It is not tax, legal, real estate, or financial advice. Licensed work stays with licensed people.
What the question is really asking
It usually hides a job change, a housing squeeze, a relationship, or a remote-work experiment. Name that. Then name places you would actually live, not a map of vibes.
A best-places article cannot know your take-home pay or whether a parent needs to be within a day's drive.
How Argumont treats it
Each place is an option. Stay is an option. Criteria such as take-home pay, housing, work access, and household fit should be weighted before you tour.
Example
I can stay, move to Denver for a job, or move to a cheaper remote city. Challenge the Denver plan and score all three.
