Re: Moving -- Shari

[Guest guest]

Hi Shari,

We moved from San Diego to Oklahoma 20 years ago so that we could afford for

me to stay at home after our kids were born. In San Diego the cost of

living is so high, both my husband and I would need to have worked to enjoy

any standard of living there. In Oklahoma, we can live very nicely on one

income. Housing is much cheaper here, as well as car insurance and most

everything else. Our home here is a palace in comparison to what we had in

San Diego. There are many areas where the cost of living is cheaper than

California or Florida. For your peace of mind, it may be a wonderful thing

for you to move, even though it is away from your family. If you could

enjoy a nice standard of living, without worrying about working again, it

could be a huge burden that was lifted from you.
