OT: Yikes, My Wife Wants To Move

[underthebigw]

Nik,

 

Seriously think about moving a couple of towns over (you know where).

 

It's about 20 mins and a world away. You'd still be able to commute, feels a lot less chaotic (rush hour is usually over around 5:30), houses are significanly less, and the people definitely a bit more down to earth. Amazing what a difference a few miles make.

She is tired of Mass, tired of our snobby little clicque town we live in

 

Here I am living the American dream. Never went to college, self-employed, very nice home in a very safe, suburban town. She just got hired as a Math specialist for all the public schools of Framingham, great pay, lots of hours though, and she wants to move

 

It has taken us almost 10 years to get to this point in our lives, but she is fed up with this state, fed up with the expenses that come along with living in a select town, and fed up with the snobs.

 

She threw out Wyoming, and God I hope she was joking

 

Kids don't want to move, I am too old to start a business all over again, and there is no way we will make the kind of money we are making now. Granted it goes out sometimes as soon as it comes in, but thats a sacrifice we have made for the kids.

 

NIK,

 

A voice COULD be telling you something sarcastic like this:

 

" OK Nik, sure - let HER uproot you and kids and move to Sunny Southern California, where the CLIQUES there go out of their way to make sure you can't network and get the "jockey position" on ANYTHING - even wive's cooking recipies..

 

Try dealing with these Hollywood types and yes, they are everything you see and read about and hear about and more... the old adage " Don't call us we'll call you". And that call never comes.

 

OK NIK try to make the money you are making anywhere else - especially on the West Coast where the jobs are much harder to get and the ironic paradox about that is that the work ethic is no comparison to the East Coast. The economy is very fragmented here whereas the East Coast is much more steady and if you think taxes are high where you are now try S. Cal...

 

Seriously Nik, there are several factors to consider:

 

1) Kids

 

2) Kids

 

3) Kids

 

Kids need stability and you are already providing the best possible home for them. Change this for what??? MORE of the same or WORSE than what you have it???

 

When I made that move from MD to S CAL I was 37, divorced, and had a little bit of a bankroll. I knew I was going to make it but I had something coming in every month.

Looks like Wyoming isn't that ideal anymore anyway....

 

Air pollution in Wyo. community rivals that of big cities

 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080508/ap_on_re_us/rural_pollution

 

BOULDER, Wyo. - There isn't anything metropolitan about this tiny unincorporated town in southwest Wyoming, where a few single-family homes and a volunteer fire station stand against a skyline of snowcapped mountains.

 

But Boulder, with a population of just 75 people, has one thing in common with major metropolitan areas: air pollution thick enough to pose health risks.

 

"Used to be you could see horizon to horizon, crystal clear. Now you got this," said Craig Jensen as he gestured to a pale blue sky that he says is not as deeply colored as it used to be. "Makes you wonder what it's going to do to the grass, the trees and the birds."

 

The pollution, largely from the region's booming natural gas industry, came in the form of ground-level ozone, which has exceeded healthy levels 11 times since January and caused Wyoming to issue its first ozone alerts. Now the ozone threatens to cost the industry and taxpayers millions of dollars to stay within federal clean-air laws.

yeah, you might be right - I agreed with Shadrock on another Thread. I better go back to my other hobbies and hide for a while before others think I have turned over some new leaf...

er, how much wine?

 

The future wife and I sometimes talk about retiring to Maine, but it would require her uncle giving us a couple acres of land. I like Maine and it would still allow me to jump down to the Cape without much trouble.
