We were just discussing it and even though my husband could easily find a job there the cost of loving is so high it is insane. To get a house comparable to ours in the DC metro area would be literally 5-6 times what we paid and we would probably stool need to pay for private schools! I suspect if we do move anytime in the next 15-20 years it will be to a foreign country. luckypenny on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362665 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:24:43 +0000 luckypenny 362665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would LOVE to move but bc of DH'ss job we can't for at least 5 years. All of my family is back on the east coast and the Bay Area is just wayyyy too expensive! I want to be Able to get a big house with a lawn and upgrades and out here nice 2 bedrooms in a hood school district can be $700-900k :'( I'd love to live in Austin or Nashville. I'm a southern girl originally and I love the heat!

We just bought a house in the area I've lived all my life. I used to think I'd get the hell out of Dodge as soon as I was old enough to leave...but with DH, our baby, our new house (which I love!) and our families nearby, I've realized that I would be super sad if we ever left. Mainly because of family and our home.

DH & I have talked about moving away but I don't foresee that ever happening. At first we wanted to stay close to grandpa, now it's to stay close to mom. She has been talking about moving to town to be closer to us and any potential grand babies. It's important to us & her that she be able to experience being a grandma. She hasn't been able to see her other grand babies that much over the years and has missed out on a lot of experiences with them.

But we are maybe 60/40 about moving areas. We are in Boston now and will eventually want a house with a yard, which means the suburbs. But my family is all in the NY/NJ area, a 4-5 hour drive away. I'd love to be closer to them, but I also know that realistically, living in NY wouldn't be better for us as a couple so I prioritize that (DH just isn't a NYC guy). So we will probably stay here, unless a great work opportunity came up for DH. No matter what, we will have to be near a major city, both for his work and for our own preference. He's love Chicago or somewhere in CA, but I think they are too far from my family. Right now, our requirement for a move is that he makes enough more money that flights back to visit our family will in no way break the bank. chopsuey on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362519 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:21:50 +0000 chopsuey 362519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It took a while to get used to living in GA, but you're right about feeling less homesick now that we have our own little family. I missed my family and friends SO much when I first moved.. After I had LO the crazy missing stopped (I still wished they were close though). Now when I visit family in CA (I lived there for 29+ years) it doesn't feel like home anymore. Just feels like I'm visiting family. sheskrafty on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362514 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:17:54 +0000 sheskrafty 362514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I want to move back to California soooooooo badly. I only lived there three years but I get homesick for it all the time. Unfortunately, my husband will never move away from his family. While I love where I live, I kinda feel trapped since we'll probably always live here. On the bright side, at least its cheaper to live here than Cali!!

Abundance of everything, including opportunities. However, hubby and I always talked about moving to Colorado because of their super active lifestyles (mountain biking, hiking, skiing/snowboarding). I wouldn't mind living closer to family because I miss them like crazy, but the opportunities just aren't as bountiful. They're making progress in improving this, but still. autumnlove on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362407 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:21:29 +0000 autumnlove 362407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I can't wait to move into a house in the same city! Sammyfab on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362405 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:19:40 +0000 Sammyfab 362405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the time. We've always wanted to move to Vancouver but the cost of living his higher out there and we would make less money. We keep hoping that an amazing opportunity would come up so we could get out there sooner, but right now it's in our 5 year plan. We would be moving away from family and friends but we know we would love being in Vancouver.

However, I have no idea where we would move TO.

Also, right now we live close to IL's but I would like to move more closer to my parents. Maybe somewhere in between. lawbee11 on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362398 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:18:27 +0000 lawbee11 362398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We just bought a house in May (and that whole process was a huge pain), so I told DH we are not moving for a reeeeally long time! I wouldn't want to move anyways, though. I love our neighborhood, we're in a great school district, and about 30 minutes from my family. We live in a big city, but we're in Texas so the cost of living is quite low. I feel like we have the best of both worlds. ETA: DH is from Chicago, and he said after being spoiled by the weather here, he could never move back up north! mrsjyw on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362384 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:11:52 +0000 mrsjyw 362384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I hate moving! But, we are also looking to move in the next 5 - 10 years to a better school district and a house with a bigger back yard! mediagirl on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362374 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:07:20 +0000 mediagirl 362374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I want to move CLOSER to my family. Not having them around is really hard. I want to move out of my neighborhood and into a different one. I would really like to move up north but then we would be even further from my parents. Mrs. Jacks on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362354 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:56:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 362354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @HeatherlovesKenny: I remember that feeling! 7 yrs in the PNW was enough for me! We never want to move again! We're here for good! regberadaisy on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362349 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:53:17 +0000 regberadaisy 362349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes and no. We're close to my husband's side right now so of course I'm always homesick for my family. And then if we did not care about being near family we would LOVE to live in Chicago. But never in a million years could we move that far away from family. BelugaBean on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362327 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:34:29 +0000 BelugaBean 362327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're definitely moving houses but probably not moving out of the area. We lived in MN for a year and we do miss it sometimes but it was so far from our families. We would love to live in New England though and would consider moving there if the opportunity came up (we currently are in the Southeast which is where we grew up). meredithNYC on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362321 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:27:39 +0000 meredithNYC 362321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Well, I feel like I've moved quite a bit, but we still are not in our "forever" place. I'm from Indiana, my husband is from the UK, we met in London when we both lived there, then moved to NYC, then Brooklyn, and in December we're off to Stamford, CT. It's kind of exhausting, especially with LO. It's tough because we want to stay in the US (for now) and I would love to be close to my family, but I'm not sure about transitioning back to Indianapolis. Plus, my husband is totally not on board. So I think the answer is probably Chicago - still a great city, but much closer to my family. mrs. bird on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362256 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 06:07:04 +0000 mrs. bird 362256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup! For lots of reasons. I'd like my parents to come too though. They totally would :D my mom has suggested it in the past. But then I think of how much I love people that live here, and I chicken out! heffalump on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362253 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 05:59:29 +0000 heffalump 362253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I want to move houses eventually because I want 3 kids and we're only in a 3 bedroom. But do I want to move cities ..... no way! Love it here! Dh and my parents are here. My brother, sil, and new niece are here. Our town is awesome and everything I could ever ask for. Very family and dog friendly, always something going on, very artsy fartsy. My dream place to live. mynoahbear on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362222 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 02:45:19 +0000 mynoahbear 362222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we just moved but i want to move back to tokyo. sunny on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362165 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:22:22 +0000 sunny 362165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I talk about moving to SF every once in awhile. Haven't ever seriously looked for a job there tho.

I think we eat similarly,, and it is a 45 minute drive to the nearest health food store and an hour to one of the awesome food coops supported by local farmers. I'd love to be closer to that. Like you though- it is invaluable having my parents/sister here.. alayaya on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362136 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:18:12 +0000 alayaya 362136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We really love our city, so I don't know if we would ever move. It is very expensive to live here though, so if we ever want to own a house we will probably have to move... Sometimes it bothers me that we are so far away from family, but this is where we met and fell in love, so it is hard to move away from that. runsyellowlites on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362134 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:16:23 +0000 runsyellowlites 362134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I miss living in/near the city! For awhile I really liked the smaller city life and felt it was great for family (not long drive times from work, errands don't take all day, etc) but now that we're moving to more natural living and changing what we eat I'm finding that it just isn't very accommodating. Idk if we'll ever actually move though... I'm incredibly close with my mom and she is seriously my saving grace when it comes to mental health days away from the kiddos and DH and I having us time, I'm sure moving from her would be a huge adjustment.

I'm tired of being rained on in the Northwest. DH has to be at his job for a few more years to get a certain certification to move. My sisters live in SoCal, Az and Tx--all places I wouldn't mind living and I really want to be close to them. junebugmama on "Do you ever want to move??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-want-to-move#post-362126 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:08:49 +0000 junebugmama 362126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ every. single. day. Since DH's ex gets visitation with my bonus son, we won't be moving anytime soon. Both of us would love to move out of where we currently are. We have discussed Boston or Chicago. Hopefully, one day we will be able to.

We looked into going home for Christmas but were looking at ~$3000 for 3 seats. It's a little bit better if you don't fly during the holidays but not much.
