This is very Henry David Thoreau.
That a few on this board feel the economic advantage of Calgary is the deciding factor on a relocation. This attitude is very Calgarian in it's nature. People are always spending, consuming, vacationing like it's going out of style because they are always on the treadmill to make the money. Which defeats the purpose. Last night when we were on the patio, we thought how few great nights there are in Calgary. How the weather is usually not the best.
The more stuff you have, the more of your life you spend managing the stuff and dealing with the extra expense and trouble that comes along with the stuff. It's a cycle.
You can live very cheaply in the Okanagan. You can have a garden and practically grow all your vegetables from April to October. (Plus they taste better), you can do more outdoor activity, you've got some lakes and so many things to do.
Anyways, only you can make your decision, but I don't think the idea is unwise.
