[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can move, move. I HATE that I'm all alone here, and friends don't cut it. You need family. [/quote] This. I took a big pay cut and moved back to my little hometown. Despite less money, I loved the job. And the COL was dramatically lower. I rented a little house just a few miles from my parents and from my sisters and brothers. I needed the support and I wanted my kids to have the benefit of extended family nearby. It was the best decision I could have made. I felt my stress level plummet as soon as I drove across the border back home. No more rushing around, no more traffic or commute, no more worrying about daycare and sick kids, ... Just friendly people, a dramatically slower pace, wide open spaces, and the support of family. I swore I would never remarry. But about a year after I moved back home I married my best friend. Sometimes life works out perfectly. [/quote]
