[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes you have to be an adult and put your family first.  It’s okay to tell your husband your family cannot handle moving right now. Maybe in a year things will be better, but you can’t handle the stress right now.

Also, low six figures is poverty wages in the Bay Area. Even if he doubled his salary you guys would be in a tiny apartment and he would commute (at least) an hour each way. Boston is better - but not significantly so. My friends who live in the Bay say it takes two tech salaries to make it work. One (very low) tech salary cannot support a family at anywhere near a middle class existence in the Bay Area. [/quote]

Op here. We live in a tiny apartment now. If we moved to Cali or MA most likely we would live in a tiny apartment close to his work. I don't think my husband would commute 2 hours everyday so we could live in a bigger apartment and I also wouldn't want him to do that. Do people live far away because they want a bigger place or they bought a house? From researching it seems 3k would be the rent for a 1 bedroom. 3k is expensive but it would be possible for us. His salary would be in the 140-165 range. [/quote]

140 -165k is fine for the Bay area if you think you will be there temporarily. Sometimes you have to go to a major city to find a job. Take some xanax and have fun. [/quote]
