Seniority 5/84, buying home in Bend, ready to move there SOON. Anchorage has it all: snow, sun, all outdoor activities as intense as you like. Lots of OT, TCOLA ($1000/mo), Permanent Fund Dividend (avg. $900 for EACH family member every year). World class fishing/hunting "in your backyard", great bike paths and trails!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Rich Carleton,
