If one wants to live in a small town, they need to bring 2 million dollars with them, as is often said about Durango. It's a gamble, I'm afraid, and it's not a place for anyone between 21 and 70 years of age. Only retirees who have lots of money.[/quote]


I'm forty-eight and doin' great. Next.

Should I just abandon hope and try for Rapid City, South Dakota instead?

Any tourist hotspots I should look out for?
Jesse, best of luck to you. Durango is like any other place, if you can find a job and afford the cost of living there then it's a fine place to be, but these days any place you can find a job and afford to live there is a good place. You surely don't need to bring millions of dollars to Durango or most any place else so forgot such nonsense, internet forums are full of such ludicrous remarks.

We've given you the best advice we can, and a lot more. Let us hear how you fare in the future.
