New to the big sky state for one year now. Montana is a huge state with many lifestyles, many different communities. Montana has suffered or benefited dependant on the view same as Oregon, where I came from with people selling off homes at huge profits and coming into rural areas not understanding the way things are and driving up cost of living with more schools, roads, infrastructure etc. FYI I visited for 4 years and in that time changed my mind on the area for me based on the changes I saw in that short of a time frame. There is no utopia anywhere, problems here like anywhere. Make sure you are super employable, trade skills or medical field or self employed. I do like the fact that kids do ride their bikes, hunt, fish with freedom. Best advice is to visit. Some will tell you what you want to hear just to get that sell
. Good luck. Bring your manners.
