A leap in the dark - you ever made one?

We decided to move house to a place about 80 miles away.

Accepted offer on our house.

Had an offer accepted on house in target town.

Applied for job in target town. Was offered job. Accepted offer.

Have just handed in notice on current job.

BUT...... we haven't exchanged contracts yet on either the property we are selling or the one we are buying, so the whole thing could fall to bits, and I could end up hight and dry with a job I can't get to.

Big risk. Hoping for the best.

You ever taken a chance?

We both gave up well paid jobs and moved 300 miles away without new jobs to go to. We did rent after selling though, so that helped. We both found new jobs, bought a house again and it all worked out. The feeling of taking a risk was overwhelming but we did the right thing.
