Big changes

October 14th, 2023 at 03:54 pm

We put an offer on a property, it's about an hour away and not where we expected to think about living but the cost of housing there is so much lower. Like $80k less than something here, after closing and moving expenses maybe we will have somewhere between $40-50 leftover which we can consider for a campervan.  My adult child lives there with their spouse and it is a larger town (we need diversity, culture and etc) so I think we can be happy there. I know there are other offers so we'll see if we can beat it. I don't know when we'll hear, probably after the weekend. Ours is a good offer, I just won't know if it's the best offer. 

The only thing that I really think about is that I will likely not be able to find a job in my field and will have to change but it's possible I can find an adjacent career or something completely different and I know this is just part of the process. In addition to lower housing costs, the wages will also be lower. I will probably explore remote working positions too.

    Moving some place that’s less expensive is the way to go. Good luck

    Very exciting news! Hoping your offer is accepted. Less expensive is certainly appealing, but it's also so important that it offers a lifestyle that is important to you. Sometimes I think people forget to see if moving to a less expensive area will also offer them happiness in their daily life.

    Hope it works out. Good plan on finding more reasonable expenses where you live.
