Reply #9: Its hard to leave a fairly stable and morally worthwhile job right now

[quakerboy]

If we were to move, it would be to my wife's home country, Canada. But BC still seems pretty bloated from the Olympics, so we were hoping in a few years it might become slightly more affordable to live there.

Ive thought about moving to the Midwest. Detroit has houses for sale for what we would have to put as down payment on a really cheap place here. The question is what would I do when I got there? That would take all we have plus a little. And I would still have student loans to pay and food to buy. I am not a leap then look sort, I gotta have a plan and a contingency. And right now, I feel negative about jobs, negative about my skill set, and just overall negative.

No need to be sorry. I appreciate it though. Soon enough I will call an end to my little pity party and move on. We still have our savings, and my wife is thus that much closer to potentially going home. That's nothing to frown at. I just have to look at it through those glasses, not my "but I want a stable physical home" glasses.
