[quote=Anonymous]We made the move. In Arlington, we were doing fine financially and career-wise, and both DH and I had great (on paper) jobs. Our kids are ES age and we're happy in school and friends, and we were very happy with the schools.  We did not own our house and did not have local family (grandparents were driving distance). We felt that life was too stressful here and there wasn't enough time and we didn't have the energy to do any of the great things the area has to offer.

We are much happier in our slower pace, lower COL city. We have a nice house (for less than half the cost of houses we looked at in Arlington) in a great school district. DH had a job lined up but I didn't, and I found one that pays more than I made in DC. People are generally nicer.  It was tough to move with ES age kids, but I'm glad we did and I think raising them here will be better for the whole family.

I would move if you can, unless you have local family. That's invaluable and a good reason to stay put. [/quote]
