Living in Alaska sounds awesome, especially with no income or sales tax (in most places). I would love to wake up every morning and look out to see mountains covered in snow in the distance. One thing that I found interesting is the fact that the average person receives ~$1500 from the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), just for living there! You do have to live there for a full calendar year (January 1st - December 31st), though. Overall, I think the pros outweigh the cons and living in Alaska would be a great decision for me. Side note: Better access to StarLink compared to where we are currently.
