[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will be almost 50 trying to find a new job in a new city while currently unemployed and out of work for at least a year or so? Good luck. I would not want to be you. Can you swing on just your DH salary, and basically retire to freelancing (or take up tennis) with this move. [/quote] Jerk[/quote] I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I've run into a lot of ageism in my own job search. She needs to brace herself for what is likely to be a difficult move. [/quote] Ageism is horrible to go through. Unless you get into an accident, become ill, or get shot by a jealous spouse, we all get older. I know someone who started her own company. She did fractional work and then four clients became one job. The Inc 5000 is full of professional service companies. Also, she has three kids so even if DH is a solid earner, they still need the money for college and retirement.[/quote]
