> Yay!!!!!!!! Is this the one you have been hoping for?

> Jacquie H

Yes! And it couldn't have come at a BETTER time -- Marc has been slipping

into a deep depression over the last little while, one of the main reasons

being the lack of response to all his sent-out resumes. His self-esteem was

slipping, he was getting...well, depressed - in the clinical sense. Again.

It's been awful.

The job - Nuclear Operator at the biggest power generating station in

Ontario - would be a cut in pay, but is only a ground level position with

TONS of room to move up. Besides, expenses would go way down too -- our 3

bedroom townhouse is $150K, where in that area my friend's five bedroom on a

corner lot was $50K! (OK, so it needed work, but still! $50K!?!?! I

nearly CRIED!)

The towns nearby are all on Lake Ontario, and about an hour from my parents!

My dad worked there and commuted every day, but Marc doesn't want to do

that. I worked there one summer too, and I don't blame Marc one bit!

This is sooo exciting.

LOL. Like you wouldn't BELIEVE. It's a long story, but we never should

have been in the town we're in, and the people who promised to support us

emotionally and with childcare if we came here completely neglected us and

moved away a year after we got here. Those were dh's parents, btw. We;re

trapped in this tiny village where everyone else is a commuter to the city;

we've been here three years - almsot four -- and still don't know anyone;

the cost of living is so high that even with Marc making $23 an hour we

barely meet our bills, because this is a bedroom town for Toronto and is

priced for Toronto even though Marc only makes a local wage. (a 3-bd

townhouse on .1 acres (that's what it says on my tax bill) sells for $150K+)

It's hell. We are SO unhappy here.

So sorry to hear that.When we tell folks we are planning to move to Maine as

soon as it is feasible(from here in Virginia) they look at us like we have

lost our minds.We tell them we will see as much of them 1200 miles away as we

do now-lol

We will pray mightily for good things to happen for you all.

My Uncle is in Maine and I know why they moved up there. He's a postmaster

and they have a wonderful house that they built themselves. It's quite and

nature surrounds them.

Jacquie, even if the salary is lower, if the cost of living is

adjusted enough, your standard of living could actually be higher.

Plus if there are income based programs you have access too you could

qualify for more of those possibly.

Conversly, the job in WA that is looking at pays more,

considerably more, than we make here, but the cost of living is much

much higher there. Housing alone runs 300%, which means we would be

farther behind than we are now! And, on top of that we would loose

what little access to reduced anything that we now have, plus pay more

taxes. Way bad plan so far, unless they were to increase the salary

considerably.

I'm really really glad this came for Marc when it did. It sounds like

it could be a good move for you guys. I hope it works out.
