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.
