Oh ((((hugs)))) I can soooo identify with your stress, though our situations are different!

We moved from Michigan for many reasons- the economy there is tanking, dh was NOT getting raises so he needed a different job (no one was getting a raise, not just him.) We were at what dh refers to as the "tipping point" between paying our bills without worry and going into negative... like we could pay our bills but not buy new clothes, lol.

So, we moved to NC when dh got offered a higher-paying job here, the cost of living is lower. This is where our family is and where we grew up too. Techinically we should be better off financially than EVER before but we still haven't sold our old house. So we're under a lot financial stress in the short term though once we sell we'll be good. So I would say that if you are able to move AND sell your house for a profit, that is just awesome! That has been the stressor for us... and also the fact that dh's job is just a job and he really wants to change fields but might have to take a pay cut which I would NOT be OK with.

I truely want to thank you all for the support...(crying) its so nice to hear advice and what others think of the situation without being judged or told that this is "the easy way out"

I checked out the website for Dave, and I am going to go look for the book.

The house is listed...its scares the crap out of me, cause we already have viewings booked and we honest to God have no Plan.....I think we will be moving back to Alberta....With the sale of the house, we stand to gain a HUGE profit....most of it will go to paying off debt and the rest will have to get us into a new home....time will tell I guess. DH asked his current boss if he could get a guarantee (because hes a mechanic, they never get paid the same) his boss told him today at lunch that he thought he was making plenty of money....what a load! So I think DH is leaning towards the other job...

thanks again...for everything!
