moving regrets — what states lead in buyer remorse?

Jan 22, 2026

Saw an interesting article where researchers list the 5 states that most people regret moving to. But first, the state they’re most happy moving to? Tennessee! (How about that, Katie?)

Here are the 5 top states in the US that people most regret moving to, and the % of them who decide to leave again:

  1. New Jersey 70%
  2. Illinois 67%
  3. New York 63%
  4. Connecticut 60%
  5. California 59%

Jackson County birds soon regretted moving to the Pesky Neighbor’s.

It was almost a full day that I let the bird feeder remain empty. Ole’ Mr. Pesky was bragging that they all moved to his place. They had moving regrets though. It was evidenced by the fact that 100% of them moved back to the barndo feeder once it was full.

What the Internet did while we were waiting on the service dude…

It’s been 3 full days of me calling EnviroHeat to get the service dude back out here… or at LEAST get a call-back. The outside boiler was turned off on Saturday night (actually early morning on Sunday) when it overheated and sounded like it was about to explode. Finally, yesterday, I did get a return text with a promise that dude would be here, but he didn’t show up.

In the meantime, the Internet has been busy making memes trying to cheer me up. Hope at least one of them will resonate with you. 🙂

Now you know: A Colombian drug-sniffing dog was so good at finding cocaine that a cartel put a bounty on her head. The Gulf Clan cartel offered $7,000 for the death or capture of German shepherd, Sombra, after she sniffed out over 2,000 kilos of cocaine.
