Well seems you've got a ton of advice. FWIW my view
It all depends on your priorities and the season of life you are currently facing. As others have mentioned, time seemingly begins to speed up as you age and before you know it you've hopefully experienced many of the seasons of life (although there are no guarantees about tomorrow for any of us). What are your top priorities you are facing ? Career ? Family ? Lifestyle ? Preparation for Retirement ? These are just some of the factors to consider.
I've moved 7 times in my life, leaving Pa. for Los Angeles, San. Fran., Connecticut, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, back to Houston. Never regretted any of the moves, although most were all generated by career aspirations early on with the first 4 moves before having a family. The last 3 relocations were definitely both career and family oriented, as living down south was a primary consideration since my wife was from Louisiana. Word to the wise, she needs to be involved and buy-in to the relocation. If kids are involved, it's even a bigger deal, since you really impact their lives in a big way.
Won't get into more details, only to say that I don't regret any move and I was able to adapt fine wherever I lived. I also found it to be very educational and you learn to appreciate different cultures around this great country of ours. You also feel you have ties, or binds to the areas you have previously lived, including friends, experiences, memories, etc....
