WAYS TO KEEP THE LOVE AFFAIR WITH MONTANA GOING STRONG...

Be realistic about the gap between the cost of living here and where
you're from.
Be prepared for living in a remote spot, without many public services.
Don't assume that you will be able to earn wages similar to other areas of the country.
Bring a “money cushion.”
Listen to and observe the locals, the old timers. You can learn a lot from them.
Leave your ideas of how it should be and embrace what you love about Montana.
Get involved in your new community.
Look at the never-ending sky, breathe in the clean Montana air, celebrate Nature's finest... and cherish being in “the last best place”.
You'll fall even more deeply in love with Montana.
Read the “Code of the New West.”
