Did I just do the dumbest thing ever or the smartest?

I live in a big city in the NE.Crime has gotten so bad the past few months. Home invasions are happening very close to home,kidnappings,robberies all on the rise. I have some friends in SC and always loved the rural towns especially when the SHTF.

So my wife and I decided to move to SC. We've planned this for over a year and the day has finally come. We have 3 small children that are all for the move. We want to be more self sufficient and have a garden and maybe raise some small livestock. We bought a house with a very small mortgage and we have a about of 1 year salary saved in case we don't find a job right away.

My last day of work was yesterday, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I had a pretty cake job so my question is...Did I do the right thing for the safety and well being of my family? Or should I have just been thankful I had a job and sucked it up living here with increasing taxes no raises and barely able to get by.

Just asking anyone's opinion here.
