We really want to return to the area I grew up in which would involve a complete change of everything. Job, house, school, the lot. It would mean moving over 100 miles from where we currently live. We have been here since before our children were born and have lived in the same house the whole time.
DH has been searching and applying for jobs for over 6 months but in that time he has had no luck except one slight, possible, positive on the horizon which I have pushed to the back of my mind because I am not feeling very optimistic about it ever happening. I have begun to wonder if I am just going to shrivel up in this place that we have come to tolerate.
We need to make the move in the next 6 months or wait another two years after that because DD will be starting her GCSE years and we don't want to disrupt that time.
We are in a position that if we were to sell our house then we would have a reasonable(ish) amount of money from the sale. That makes it tempting to sell and move to a rented place then worry about the job after. The thing is though, I don't have any idea what would be a decent enough amount of money to do that with.
So, how much money would you want to know you had if you were to think of doing similar? Is it a crazy idea no matter what? Or is there an amount of money that would be enough for it not to be the craziest, most insane idea in the world?
