[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching, Police Officer, Firefighter, nurse.  Jobs that can be done just about anywhere.

My husband's defense/security contract work = HERE and basically nowhere else if you actually want job security.

And he just broke 6 figures this past year at 35.  I work PT and maybe bring in $30K a year?  Working FT, I might bring in $60K or so, even with 2 degrees, as I prefer non-profit work.

We looked into moving - came super close to moving to TX.  Decided it wasn't worth it if he didn't have a lot of good options.[/quote]

oops, forgot to finish.  We live in a 4 BR 2200 sf home that cost us $455K 2 years ago in West Fairfax (recently appraised for $520K).  Luckily had some money from a previous TH that appreciated in order to buy up.

We could actually move south on 95 to get closer to my husband's job and pay less, but even he said he would be unhappy down there.  We like where we are - close to tons of amenities in this area of the county.  Nice walkable neighborhood with schools, library and a decent shopping center within walking distance.  We rarely have to go more than 5 miles from our house for much of anything (except my husband's job - which is quite a trip).[/quote]
