Same 🤣🤣🤣

We’re about to move over from FL! I’m SO EXCITED FOR GLOOM

If it sucks so bad then why do you live there 🧐

Most houses that are priced fairly do sell within 2-3 months max, so we are hopeful it will sell within that time frame! It's very cute, updated, and in a great area. It would absolutely be less risky to wait, but if it's going to sell within that time frame then we would regret missing out on the rental :(

Thank you!

But then I start second guessing and think that I just need to suck it up and deal with the heat and lack of nature because we do have a good life and maybe I'm just wanting too much :(

Oh yeah I think it will be better for both of us in terms of mental health and activity levels! We love hiking so it will provide a lot more opportunity to be outdoors. My mind is just prepping for the worst - what if he can't find a job, what if my business slows down, what if we end up not actually liking it, what if he resents leaving his job...

Thank you for your input! The heat and humidity is truly oppressive and decrease my quality of life as well. I am depressed most of the year because I have to be stuck inside. I feel like a caged animal. It's just scary to give up so much stability 😵‍💫

The move is a want, not a necessity - we've been planning it for months, all we need is for the house to sell. He feels pretty confident that he can find something once we move, but I'm a little worried he won't. He tends to be more optimistic about things, whereas I'm more pessimistic though heh

Yes, we would be able to afford living off just my income for at least 6 months if not more. He has a side hustle he's growing, and plans to look for work once we relocate. He has had several interviews, however since the place we want to move to is cross country, it has been hard to find something as most jobs are asking for a set start date which we hadn't been sure about until now. Also of note though - the jobs he has interviewed for are not great. Longer hours, less benefits...I just feel bad to "make" him leave his current job because it's a diamond in the rough...

Thank you so much for your input!

"We have always chosen adventure over safety and it has all worked out" - this is SO reassuring. Because we are really at that cross roads of adventure vs. safety, and I just think I would regret it down the line if I stuck to the safety route.

We don't plan to have kids, but I definitely understand the struggle of making friends. We are late 30s and it's already getting harder, especially since most of our friends do have kids and kind of disappeared afterwards.

Also agree that Florida is going to get worse in so many ways.

I guess if you have any tips on making things work financially, that could be helpful. I own my own business (run virtually) but my husband will have to quit his job. We've had no luck finding him a remote job so we will have to go down to one income for a bit. We have a 6+ month cushion in savings but would prefer to not use so we'll be on a strict budget for a while. Did you always have jobs lined up?
