[quote=Anonymous]My husband has always wanted to do this (move to Vermont specifically, although we met and lived in Southern New England for our first few years together). We haven't for two reasons.

First, we've made a lot of decisions around both of us wanting to have careers, and there just aren't a lot of jobs in our fields up there. A few years ago maybe we could have moved and lived on one salary, but now given housing prices and the fact that neither of us are in fields where you get to double your income when you job hop, it's impossible.

Second, after a couple moves, I'm just putting my foot down on not wanting to move somewhere 8 hours away from both of our families and 3-4+ hours from even some of our friends. I'm not starting over with social networks and support systems and our kids' schools because we don't like the weather here. If my job allowed more remote work, I'd consider a second house in upstate NY near my parents where they are cheap, but moving a family has its costs. [/quote]
